Von Neumann’s Hilbert Space Formalism

Anthony Duncan A, Michel Janssen B

Abstract This chapter covers the completion of the formalism of quantum mechanics and its statistical interpretation in the first two installments of a remarkable trilogy of work by von Neumann in 1927. In the first, von Neumann introduces the modern Hilbert space formalism and demonstrates the equivalence of matrix and wave mechanics by showing that they are just two different instantiations of Hilbert space, one being the space of square-summable sequences, the other being the space of square integrable functions. In the second, drawing on work by von Mises on the foundations of probability theory, he provides a careful formulation of the statistical interpretation of this formalism. In doing so, he introduces such staples of modern quantum mechanics as density operators characterizing quantum statistical ensembles and the distinction between pure and mixed states.

The Way to Skeleton Conception of Elementary Particles

Yuri A. Rylov

The tachyon model of neutrino is constructed, basing on the statement that quantum description is a statistical description of stochastically moving particles. Besides, the tachyon model contains two conceptual points: (1) universal formalism of particle dynamics, describing uniformly all particles: deterministic, stochastic and quantum, (2) discrete space-time geometry and skeleton conception of particle dynamics. The universal formalism is a result of a logical reloading, when the statistical ensemble becomes to be the basic object of particle dynamics instead of a single particle. Such a reloading admits one to describe uniformly the quantum, stochastic and deterministic particles in terms of a statistical ensemble without a reference to principles of quantum mechanics. Besides, one uses a relativistic state of a particle, when the state is described by the particle skeleton (several space-time points) instead of the point in the phase space, what is nonrelativistic concept of the particle state. Representing the Dirac equation in terms of the statistical ensemble, one concludes that in the deterministic approximation the world line of the Dirac particle may be a spacelike helix with timelike axis. The rotational component of the relativistic Dirac particle is described nonrelativistically. It shows that the world line may be spacelike, and the Dirac particle may be a tachyon. Neutrino is a Dirac particle, and it is a tachyon.

Anharmonic effects on phase-space quantum profiles: an exact approach

Alex E. Bernardini, Caio Fernando e Silva

Abstract Given its well known spectral decomposition profile, the 1-dim harmonic oscillator potential modified by an inverse square (1-dim angular momentum-like) contribution works as an efficient platform for probing classical and quantum information quantifiers in the context of the phase-space Weyl-Wigner formalism. In particular, the phase-space informational content related to the canonical ensemble driven by such a singular oscillator can be quantified in terms of well established analytical structures. Considering that, on one hand, the singular oscillator produce a spectral decomposition profile equivalent to that one of the unmodified harmonic system – in the sense that they result into identical thermodynamic statistics, even for different statistical mixtures – on the other hand, a more complete scrutinization of their phase-space information content can capture some different aspects of the encoded information for the related quantum ensembles. Besides the identification of decoherence effects, the Wigner flow analysis is presumedly useful in identifying stable quantum configurations, according to finite temperature and interaction parameter values. Unexpectedly, our results show that the equivalence between the statistical (quantum) mechanics of the anharmonic singular oscillator and an ordinary harmonic oscillator can also be extended to the phase-space quantum purity quantifier, which is analytically computed and reproduces exactly the same quantum ensemble statistical mixture profile, which does not depend on interaction parameter values.
