Schrodinger Equation and Phase Space in Quantum Mechanics

Kiyoung Kim

Using classical statistics, Schrodinger equation in quantum mechanics is derived from complex space model. Phase-space probability amplitude, that can be defined on classical point of view, has connections to probability amplitude in internal space and to wave function in quantum mechanics. In addition, the physical entity of wave function in quantum mechanics is confirmed once again.

Relationship between the Wigner function and the probability density function in quantum phase space representation

Qian Shu Li, Gong Min Wei, Li Qiang Lü

This paper discusses the relationship between the Wigner function, along with other related quasiprobability distribution functions, and the probability density distribution function constructed from the wave function of the Schr\"odinger equation in quantum phase space, as formulated by Torres-Vega and Frederick (TF). At the same time, a general approach in solving the wave function of the Schr\"odinger equation of TF quantum phase space theory is proposed. The relationship of the wave functions between the TF quantum phase space representation and the coordinate or momentum representation is thus revealed.

The classical limit of Schrödinger operators in the framework of Berezin quantization and spontaneous symmetry breaking as an emergent phenomenon

Valter Moretti, Christiaan J. F. van de Ven

The algebraic properties of a strict deformation quantization are analyzed on the classical phase space [Formula: see text]. The corresponding quantization maps enable us to take the limit for [Formula: see text] of a suitable sequence of algebraic vector states induced by [Formula: see text]-dependent eigenvectors of several quantum models, in which the sequence converges to a probability measure on [Formula: see text], defining a classical algebraic state. The observables are here represented in terms of a Berezin quantization map which associates classical observables (functions on the phase space) to quantum observables (elements of [Formula: see text] algebras) parametrized by [Formula: see text]. The existence of this classical limit is in particular proved for ground states of a wide class of Schrödinger operators, where the classical limiting state is obtained in terms of a Haar integral. The support of the classical state (a probability measure on the phase space) is included in certain orbits in [Formula: see text] depending on the symmetry of the potential. In addition, since this [Formula: see text]-algebraic approach allows for both quantum and classical theories, it is highly suitable to study the theoretical concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) as an emergent phenomenon when passing from the quantum realm to the classical world by switching off [Formula: see text]. To this end, a detailed mathematical description is outlined and it is shown how this algebraic approach sheds new light on spontaneous symmetry breaking in several physical models.
