We consider the short-wave limit of evolutionary wave equations to derive the Hamilton–Jacobi equation. In particular we consider how to get wave mechanics from the abstract picture on Hilbert spaces. This ‘realisation’ contains an additional ingredient

Evaluation of the Feynman Propagator by Means of the Quantum Hamilton-Jacobi Equation

M. Fusco Girard

It is shown that the complex phase of the Feynman propagator is a solution of the quantum Hamilton–Jacobi equation, namely, it is the quantum Hamilton's principal function (or quantum action). Therefore, the Feynman propagator can be computed either by means of the path integration, or by the way of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation. This is analogous to what happens in classical mechanics, where the Hamilton's principal function can be computed either by integrating the Lagrangian along the extremal paths, or as a solution of partial differential equation, namely the classical Hamilton–Jacobi equation. If the path is decomposed in the classical one and quantum fluctuations, the contribution of these quantum fluctuations satisfies a non-linear partial differential equation, whose coefficients depend on the classical action. When the contribution of the quantum fluctuations depend only on the time, it can be computed by means of a simple integration. The final results for the propagators in this case are equal to the Van Vleck–Pauli–Morette expressions, even though the two derivations are quite different. Quanta 2023; 12: 22–26.

The solution of the Schrödinger equation obtained from the solution of the Heisenberg equations

G. F. Torres del Castillo

It is shown that the knowledge of the solution of the Heisenberg equations for a given Hamiltonian allows us to find the corresponding propagator up to a time-dependent phase factor, which gives the solution of the Schrödinger equation.

We find the form of the potential depending on the coordinates and the time such that a solution, SSS, of the Hamilton--Jacobi equation yields an exact solution, exp⁡(iS/ℏ)\exp ({\rm i} S/\hbar)exp(iS/ℏ), of the corresponding Schrödinger equation.
