  An implicit and conservative numerical scheme is proposed for the isotropic
quantum Fokker-Planck equation describing the evolution of degenerate electrons
subject to elastic collisions with other electrons and ions. The electron-ion
and electron-electron collision operators are discretized using a discontinuous
Galerkin method, and the electron energy distribution is updated by an implicit
time integration method. The numerical scheme is designed to satisfy all
conservation laws exactly. Numerical tests and comparisons with other modeling
approaches are shown to demonstrate the accuracy and conservation properties of
the proposed method.
