Basic quantum Hamiltonian's relativistic corrections

Published Feb 3, 2013• 0 citations

Abstract

After analyzing Dirac's equation, one can suggest that a well-known quantum-mechanical momentum operator is associated with relativistic momentum, rather than with non-relativistic one. Consideration of relativistic energy and momentum expressions allows us to define the non-relativistic, relativistic and pseudo-relativistic (present in Schrödinger equation) kinetic energy operators. Consequences of kinetic energy operator's correction for spectra of basic quantum Hamiltonians are investigated. In some cases this correction can produce remarkable spectra modifications.

Kinematic relativity of quantum Hamiltonian

Gintautas Kamuntavičius

It is shown that the well-known relativistic correction of quantum Hamiltonian that is present in textbooks appears after quantization of oversimplified relativistic kinetic energy decomposition. Using the proper expression one obtains the kinetic energy operator which relation with the ususal one is consistent with corresponding relation of kinetic energies in special relativity theory. The Schrödinger equation with this operator gives new interesting possibilities for quantum phenomena description.

Direct Relativistic Extension of the Madelung-de-Broglie-Bohm Reformulations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Hydrodynamics

Arquímedes Ruiz-Columbié, Hira Farooq, Luis Grave de Peralta

Abstract Using a Schrödinger-like equation, which describes a particle with mass and spin-0 and with the correct relativistic relation between its linear momentum and kinetic energy, the basic equations of the non-relativistic quantum mechanics with trajectories and quantum hydrodynamics are extended to the relativistic domain. Some simple but instructive free particle examples are discussed.

A Relativistic Quantum Wave Equation That Reduces to the Schrödinger Equation in the Non-Relativistic Limit

Brian B. K. Min

A new relativistic quantum wave equation has been derived by applying the quantum prescription to the momentum and the kinetic energy rather than to the momentum and the total energy, since after all it is the kinetic energy that generates the momentum. The resulting equation reduces to the Schrodinger equation in the nonrelativistic limit and to the Klein-Gordon equation for “massless particles” in the relativistic limit, i.e., if the velocity of the particle approaches that of light, c. For massive particles in general, the new equation deviates from the Klein-Gordon equation. The same equation is shown to decouple according to the Dirac formalism, yielding a modified form of Dirac equation. When applied to a rest particle, the modified Dirac equation is shown to avoid a negative energy solution and instead include a constant solution. The other, the time-dependent particle solution of the modified Dirac equation, has the characteristic frequency Mc2/(ћ/2) , i.e., twice those of the Dirac solutions, Mc2/ћ.

A Simple Remark Leading to a Basic Precision Estimate for Non-Relativistic (NR) Real Values of Quantum Mechanics Operators

Amaury de Kertanguy

Starting with a very basic statement that any physical constants cannot be written with an infinite precision, it is shown how to introduce this uncertainty into the Hamiltonian of non-relativistic atomic (NR) physics and how to estimate errors on quantum operators (energy, frequency, momenta) when an uncertainty is assigned to . The Schrödinger equation is written and the kinetic energy term is transformed into a Laplacian: . This transformation leads (as known since 1926) to the wave equation, whose solutions are wave functions. The relativity correction to the kinetic energy term is introduced and its effect is discussed. (h constant has an uncertainty value taken from CODATA.)

Klein-Gordon Equation

Lukong Cornelius Fai

Before examining the Dirac equation that gives a relativistic quantum mechanical description of the electron, we will examine the Klein-Gordon equation. Compared to the Schrödinger equation, the Dirac equation should have an appreciable modification in the quantum description of the properties of the electron. In the non-relativistic quantum mechanical formulation, we begin with the classical relation for the energy in the absence of interaction, i.e., the kinetic energy: 15.1 https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> Η = p 2 2 m https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003273073/d236e21f-f9f6-4e42-b186-ef1c50f0a68b/content/math15_1.tif" xmlns:xlink=" https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink "/>
