Published Jan 1, 2021• 2 citations

Abstract

Abstract It is well-known that if the physical system is located in the restricted area, additional “surface terms” emerge in the traditional form of hypervirial and/or Erenfest theorems. In the current literature mainly one-dimensional Schrodinger equation was considered in this respect. Our observation consists in that this situation emerges automatically in spherical coordinates, as well as one of the coordinates, namely radial distance, is restricted by a half-line. In particular, these considerations are clearly manifested, when one consider spherically symmetric potentials and operators, depended only on distance. Evidently, these additional terms give rise owing the boundary conditions for wave functions and the behavior of the considered operators at the origin of coordinates. We have analyzed the role of these additional terms for various model- potentials in the Schrodinger equation. We consider regular, as well as soft-singular potentials and show that the inclusion of these terms is very important for obtaining correct physical results. Some complicated integrals for hypergeometric functions are also derived. The modified virial relations, derived below, is converted into the usual relations, when the additional terms are absent and when present, they give reasonable corrections in correct direction. This fact also provides its legitimacy.

Hypervirial and Ehrenfest Theorems in Spherical Coordinates: Systematic Approach

Anzor Khelashvili, Teimuraz Nadareishvili

Abstract Elaboration of some fundamental relations in 3-dimensional quantum mechanics is considered taking into account the restricted character of areas in radial distance. In such cases the boundary behavior of the radial wave function and singularity of operators at the origin of coordinates contribute to these relations. We derive the relation between the average value of the operator’s time derivative and the time derivative of the mean value of this operator, which is usually considered to be the same by definition. The deviation from the known result is deduced and manifested by extra term, which depends on the boundary behavior mentioned above. The general form for this extra term takes place in the hypervirial-like theorems. As a particular case, the virial theorem for Coulomb and oscillator potentials is considered and correction to the Kramers’ sum rule is derived. Moreover, the corrected Ehrenfest theorem is deduced and its consistency with real physical picture is demonstrated.

Some Quantum-Mechanical Relations in case of singular operators and potentials

Anzor Khelashvili, Teimuraz Nadareishvili

Elaboration of some fundamental relations in three dimensional quantum mechanics is considered in connection to taking into account the restriction on domains in radial distance. In such cases the boundary behavior of the radial wave function and singularity of operators at the origin of coordinates contribute to these relations. In particular, we derive the relation between the average value of operator time derivative and the time derivative of mean value of this operator, which usually is considered as the same by definition. The deviation from known result is deduced manifested by extra term, which depends on boundary behavior mentioned above. The general form for this extra term participates to the hypervirial like theorems. As a particular case, the virial theorem for a Coulomb potential is considered and correction to the Kramers sum rule is derived. Moreover the corrected Ehrenfest theorem is deduced also and its consistency with real physical picture is demonstrated.

Generalized Heisenberg uncertainty relation in spherical coordinates

Anzor Khelashvili, Teimuraz Nadareishvili

Following to the Weil method, we generalize the Heisenberg–Robertson uncertainty relation for arbitrary two operators. Consideration is made in spherical coordinates, where the distant variable [Formula: see text] is restricted from one side, [Formula: see text]. By this reason, accounting of suitable boundary condition at the origin for radial wavefunctions and operators is necessary. Therefore, there arise extra surface terms in comparison with traditional approaches. These extra terms are calculated for various solvable potentials and their influence is investigated. At last, the time–energy uncertainty relations are also analyzed. Some differences between our approach and that, in which a direct product for separate variances were considered, are discussed.

Unexpected Delta-Function Term in the Radial Schrodinger Equation

Anzor Khelashvili, Teimuraz Nadareishvili

Careful exploration of the idea that equation for radial wave function must be compatible with the full Schrodinger equation shows appearance of the delta-function while reduction of full Schrodinger equation in spherical coordinates. Elimination of this extra term produces a boundary condition for the radial wave function, which is the same both for regular and singular potentials.
