Quantum-classical correspondence of dynamical observables, quantization, and the time of arrival correspondence problem

Eric A. Galapon

We raise the problem of constructing quantum observables that have classical counterparts without quantization. Specifically, we seek to define and motivate a solution to the quantum-classical correspondence problem independent from quantization and discuss the general insufficiency of prescriptive quantization, particularly, the Weyl quantization. We demonstrate our points by constructing time of arrival operators without quantization and from these recover their classical counterparts.

Shouldn’t there be an antithesis to quantization?

Eric A. Galapon

We raise the possibility of developing a theory of constructing quantum dynamical observables independent from quantization and deriving classical dynamical observables from pure quantum mechanical consideration. We do so by giving a detailed quantum mechanical derivation of the classical time of arrival at arbitrary arrival points for a particle in one dimension.

THEORY OF QUANTUM FIRST TIME OF ARRIVAL VIA SPATIAL CONFINEMENT I: CONFINED TIME OF ARRIVAL OPERATORS FOR CONTINUOUS POTENTIALS

Eric A. Galapon

The constructions of two classes of self-adjoint and compact first time of arrival operators for confined systems under arbitrary, everywhere continuous potential are detailed, extending in the interacting case the concept of confined quantum time of arrival operators first developed for the free particle. One class is the quantized confined time of arrival operators and another is the class of algebra preserving confined time of arrival operators. The former is the projection of the quantization of the classical time of arrival, and is constructed by solving the quantization problem of the multiple-valued and non-everywhere-real-valued classical time of arrival for arbitrary potential. The later arises to address the nonconjugacy with the Hamiltonian of the entire class of the quantized confined time of arrival operators, and is constructed by solving the obstruction to quantization present in Euclidean space. These two sets of operators coincide for linear systems; but differ for nonlinear systems, with the former as the leading term of the latter. The confined time of arrival operators for potentials representative of linear and nonlinear systems are numerically investigated and demonstrated to have the same dynamical behaviors as those of the free confined time of arrival operators. In particular, the eigenfunctions evolve according to Schrödinger equation such that the corresponding probabilities of locating the quantum particle in the neighborhood of the arrival point are maximum at their respective eigenvalues.
