Trajectory of motion of an electron in the Coulomb scattering in terms of the Schroedinger wave equation and the Hamilton Jacobi equation

Abstract

The trajectory of motion of a scattering electron in the Coulomb potential from the wave function of the Schroedinger equation is presented in two ways, spherical polar coordinates and Temple coordinates, and is compared with each other and with the corresponding motion of classical mechanics. A good correspondence among dynamics by wave functions and the classical dynamics has been acknowledged by comparing computed examples.Detailed computing examples discriminate the optimal dynamics of the wave function that should be verified by an experiment.

Electron trajectory in the hydrogen atom

Yoshio Nishiyama

A trajectory in the Schroedinger wave for an electron in an attractive Coulomb potential with the dynamical behavior is proposed and illustrated for a scattering and a bound state. The scattering cross section derived from the trajectories is almost exactly equal to that from the usual wave theory. The statistical nature of the result is examined. The period of one cycle in the bound state is exactly equal to that of the corresponding classical motion.

Solving quantum trajectories in Coulomb potential by quantum Hamilton–Jacobi theory

Ciann‐Dong Yang

Abstract We show that the quantum central‐force problems can be modeled and solved exactly by quantum Hamilton–Jacobi formulation, from which the quantum operators $\hat{L}$ z, $\hat{L}$ 2, and $\hat{H}$ can be derived without using the quantization principle p → ($\hbar$ /i)∂/∂x. Quantum conservation laws expressed by the Poisson bracket show that the eigenvalues of these quantum operators are just equal to the constants of motion along the eigen‐trajectories defined in a complex domain. The shell structure observed in bound systems, such as the hydrogen atom, is found to stem from the structure of the quantum potential, by which the quantum forces acting on the electron can be uniquely determined, the stability of atomic configuration can be justified, and the quantum trajectories of the electron can be obtained by integrating the related quantum Lagrange equations. On solving the quantum equations of motion, the solution of the Schrödinger equation serves as the first integration of the second‐order quantum Lagrange equations. The stable equilibrium points of the derived first‐order nonlinear quantum dynamics are shown to be identical to the positions with maximum probability predicted by standard quantum mechanics. The internal mechanism of how the quantum dynamics evolve continuously to classical dynamics and of how the quantum conservation laws transit continuously to the classical conservation laws as n → ∞ are analyzed in detail. The construction of the quantum scattering trajectory by searching for an unbound solution for the Schrödinger equation is investigated. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006

Schroedinger and Hamilton-Jacobi equations

M. V. Lokajíček

Time-dependent Schroedinger equation represents the basis of any quantum-theoretical approach. The question concerning its proper content in comparison to the classical physics has not been, however, fully answered until now. It will be shown that there is one-to-one physical correspondence between basic solutions (represented always by one Hamiltonian eigenfunction only) and classical ones, as the non-zero quantum potential has not any physical sense, representing only the "numerical" difference between Hamilton principal function and the phase of corresponding wave function in the case of non-inertial motion. Possible interpretation of superposition solutions will be then discussed in the light of this fact. And also different interpretation alternatives of the quantum-mechanical model will be newly analyzed and new attitude to them will be reasoned.

Quantum Mechanics from the Hamilton-Jacobi Point of View

Alexander Jurisch

In this article, we develop quantum mechanics upon the framework of the quantum mechanical Hamilton-Jacobi theory. We will show, that the Schroedinger point of view and the Hamilton-Jacobi point of view are fully equivalent in their description of physical systems, but differ in their descriptive manner. As a main result, a wave function in Hamilton-Jacobi theory can be decomposed into travelling waves in any point in space, not only asymptotically. The well known WKB-theory will be a special result of the more general theory, we will develop below. By the example of the linear potential and the harmonic oscillator, we will discuss quantum mechanics from the Hamilton-Jacobi point of view. Soft boundary value problems as the connection problem can be solved exactely. Quantizised energies and Maslov-indices can be calculated directely without orthonormalizing wave-functions. Also, we will focus on trajectory themes, which, in contrast to the Schroedinger point of view, follow naturally from the quantum mechanical action function.

3D Quantum Trajectories. Quantum orbits of the Hydrogen's electron

T. Djama

In this paper, we introduced the 3D-Quantum Stationary Hamilton Jacobi Equation for a central potential, and established the 3D quantum law of motion of an electron in the presence of such a potential. We established a system of three differential equations from which, and as a numerical application, we plotted the 3D quantum trajectories of the Hydrogen's electron for the ground state and two excited states. we did a comparison between a supposed classical trajectory of the hydrogen electron and the corresponding QTs. We found out that for a particular set of the hidden variables, the QT is close in its shape to the classical one.

When we conduct a thought experiment, in which the observer moves and can see the model for Schroedinger wave equation of atom with one electron, we create a wave function and calculate its wave eigenfunction acceptable, in spherical coordinates.
