Anomalous quantum mechanics

Abstract

The fractional operators together with exponential quantum in coordinate and momentum space corresponding to the power of observables are introduced. Based on an exponential relation between energy and momentum, the fractional Schrödinger equations for the free particle and the one in potential fields in heterogeneous complex media are found. The fractional equation of motion and the fractional virial theorem for anomalous quantum mechanics are then developed. Applying the fractional virial theorem, we derive an anomalous hydrogen atom whose transition energy values are much higher than that of Bohr hydrogen atom. The anomalous Heisenberg picture being equivalent to the fractional Schrödinger picture is also discussed.

Space fractional Wigner equation and its semiclassical limit

Benjamin A. Stickler, E. Schachinger

Manifestations of space fractional quantum mechanics (SFQM), as it was formulated by Laskin [Phys. Rev. E 62, 3135 (2000)], are deemed to offer a better physical interpretation of L\'evy flight statistics on a quantum mechanical level. We start with the SFQM Schr\"odinger equation characterized by a L\'evy flight index $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\in}(1,2)$, perform a Wigner transform, and draw the limit $\frac{\ensuremath{\hbar}}{E\ensuremath{\tau}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0$ (i.e., let the observed energy scale $E$ go to infinity in comparison to the quantization given by $\ensuremath{\hbar}/\ensuremath{\tau}$). In order to obtain classical transport equations two possible substitutions for the terms ${|p|}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ and $|{p}^{\ensuremath{'}}{|}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ which appear in von Neumann's equation are presented. It is demonstrated that they conform to the criteria for a successful Wigner transform. Their benefits and caveats are discussed in detail. We find, that, indeed, SFQM manifests itself in an anomalous kinetic term of the free particle's motion and, assuming an external potential diagonal in momentum space for the sake of simplicity, in corresponding anomalous terms in the resulting drift current. All our results reduce to the classical forms in the limit $\ensuremath{\alpha}=2$.

Quantum mechanical virial-like theorem for confined quantum systems

Neetik Mukherjee, Amlan K. Roy

Confinement of atoms inside impenetrable (hard) and penetrable (soft) cavities has been studied for nearly eight decades. However, a unified virial theorem for such systems has not yet been found. Here we provide a general virial-like equation in terms of mean square and expectation values of potential and kinetic energy operators. It appears to be applicable in both free and confined situations. Apart from that, we have derived an equation using the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation, which can be treated as a sufficient condition for a given stationary quantum state. A change of boundary condition does not affect these virial equations. In the hard confining condition, the perturbing (confining potential) does not affect the expression; it merely shifts the boundary from infinity to a finite region. In the soft case, on the contrary, the final expression includes contributions from the perturbing term. These are demonstrated numerically for several representative enclosed systems like harmonic oscillators (one-dimensional and three-dimensional) and hydrogen atoms. Its applicability in various other confinements (including angular) has been discussed. In essence, a virial equation has been proposed for free and confined quantum systems, from simple arguments.

Uniform operator: Aligning fractional time quantum mechanics with basic physical principles

Xueling Duan, Cheng Ma, Hongyin Huang +1 more

In this paper, we construct a fractional time corresponding operator to derive the uniform fractional time Schrödinger equation, which implies the relationship between the fractionaloperatorandtheenergy. Weverifythreebasicprinciplesoftheuniformfractional time Schrödinger equation: (a) Unitarity of the time evolution operator; (b) Existence of stationary energy spectra; (c) Probability conservation law. We apply the uniform equation to study three typical particles: free particle, an infinite potential well and a rectangular barrier. This uniform equation brings some typical physical phenomena, including (1) non-symmetry basic wave functions; (2) continuous energy spectrum for a free particle and an infinite potential well; (3) The barrier penetration in the rectangular barrier. These phenomena were not found in previous researches and the standard quantum mechanics, which will attract further applications in various fields of science.

On how Bohr model of hydrogen atom is connected to nuclear physics

Wladimir Guglinski

The atom model of Quantum Mechanics (QM) was conceived from an unsolved paradox. Indeed, Schrödinger’s equation has been deducted by considering a free electron, but it is applied for the atom, where the electron is inside a potential. In order to eliminate the nonsense, quantum theorists proposed a ridiculous postulate: they claim it makes sense to use the equation because it gives results in agreement to experimental data. The unsolved paradox evidences that Schrödinger’s equation cannot be applied to the physical conditions considered in the QM atom model, and that his equation actually requires some special conditions not considered in the theory (for instance, the electron helical trajectory, rejected by Heisenberg). The banishment of the aether has introduced several paradoxes in the development of Theoretical Physics. And because the theorists have neglected other paradox (from the mathematical probability the spectacular successes of Bohr’s hydrogen atom cannot be accidental), these two unsolved paradoxes introduced dramatic consequences in the development of Nuclear Physics.
