Conformal Transformation of the Schrödinger Equation for Central Potential Problems in Three-Dimensions

Ducharme, Robert J.

Published Mar 14, 2010• 0 citations

Abstract

In a recent paper, it has been shown the Schrödinger equation for the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator can be simplified through the use of an isometric conformal transformation. Here, it is demonstrated that the same transformation technique is also applicable to the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom. This approach has two interesting features. Firstly, it eliminates potential fields from the Schrödinger equation. The Coulomb and harmonic binding terms are instead represented as imaginary parts of complex time. Secondly, the method leads to a general relationship between potential energy and ground state energy that encompasses both the hydrogen atom and the harmonic oscillator as special cases.

Conformal Mapping of Relativistic Quantum Bound Systems to Eliminate Potential Fields

Ducharme, Robert J.

In two recent papers, an isometric conformal transformation has been introduced that eliminates potential interaction terms from the Schrödinger equation for central potential problems. The method has been demonstrated for both the hydrogen atom and three-dimensional harmonic oscillator. Here, it is shown that the same transformation technique can also be applied to central potential problems formulated using the Klein-Gordon equation.

Conformal Transformation of the Schrödinger Equation for the Harmonic Oscillator into a Simpler Form

Ducharme, Robert J.

The Schrödinger equation and ladder operators for the harmonic oscillator are shown to simplify through the use of an isometric conformal transformation. These results are discussed in relation to the Bargmann representation. It is further demonstrated that harmonic interactions can be introduced into quantum mechanics as an imaginary component of time equivalent to adding the oscillator potential into the hamiltonian for the confined particle.

Duality between Poisson and Schrödinger equations in three dimensions

Gabriel González

A duality between an electrostatic problem in a three dimensional world and a quantum mechanical problem in a one dimensional world which allows one to obtain the ground state solution of the Schrödinger equation by using electrostatic results is generalized to three dimensions. Here, it is demonstrated that the same transformation technique is also applicable to the s-wave Schrödinger equation in three dimensions for central potentials. This approach leads to a general relationship between the electrostatic potential and the s-wave function and the electric energy density to the quantum mechanical energy.

A Solution Technique for Quantum Mechanical Differential Equations Using Multiple Complex Planes

Ducharme, Robert J.

It is shown fields that cannot be represented over one complex plane can be further decomposed for representation over multiple complex planes. This finding is demonstrated here by solving of the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom in a complex space containing three complex planes. The complex coordinate system is generated from real coordinates using an isometric transformation. One plane is applied to mix energy and time; the other two planes are used to represent the z-component of angular momentum of the electron. The eigensolutions of the Schrödinger equation are shown to be holomorphic in the complex planes.

The relations between d-dimensional isotropic oscillator and D-dimensional like-hydrogen atom

Zahra Bakhshi, Zahra Neshati

Being comparable in quantum systems makes it possible for spaces with varying dimensions to attribute each other using special conversions can attribute schrodinger equation with like-hydrogen atom potential in defined dimensions to a schrodinger equation with other certified dimensions with isotropic oscillator potential. Applying special transformation provides a relationship between different dimensions of two quantum systems. The result of the quantized isotropic oscillator can be generalized to like-hydrogen atom problem in different dimensions. The connection between coordinate spaces in different dimensions can follow a specific relation that by using it and applying the parametric definition in two problems, energy spectrum and like-hydrogen atom potential wave functions problem will be solved.
