Quaternionic fermionic field

Sergio Giardino

Published Nov 20, 2022• 9 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

The second quantization of the quaternionic fermionic field is undertaken using the real Hilbert space approach to quaternionic quantum mechanics ([Formula: see text]QM). The solution responds to an open problem of quaternionic quantum theory, and launches the basis to the development of the quaternionic interaction theory.

Ouaternionic Quantum Mechanics and Ouanturn Fields

Stephen L. Adler

Abstract It has been known since the 1930s that quantum mechanics can be formulated in quaternionic as well as complex Hilbert space. But systematic work on the quaternionic extension of standard quantum mechanics has scarcely begun. Authored by a world-renowned theoretical physicist, this book signals a major conceptual advance and gives a detailed development and exposition of quaternionic quantum mechanics for the purpose of determining whether quaternionic Hilbert space is the appropriate arena for the long sought-after unification of the standard model forces with gravitation. Significant results from earlier literature, together with many new results obtained by the author, are integrated to give a coherent picture of the subject. The book also provides an introduction to the problem of formulating quantum field theories in quaternionic Hilbert space. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to discussions on where quaternionic quantum mechanics may fit into the physics of unification, experimental and measurement theory issues, and the many open questions that still challenge the field. This well-written treatise is a very significant contribution to theoretical physics. It will be eagerly read by a wide range of physicists.

Self-Interacting quantum particles

Sergio Giardino

The real Hilbert space formalism developed within the quaternionic quantum mechanics ([Formula: see text]) is fully applied to the simple model of the autonomous particle. This framework permits novel insights within the usual description of the complex autonomous particle, particularly concerning the energy of a non-stationary motion. Through the appraisal of the physical role played by a fully quaternionic scalar potential, an original self-interaction within the quaternionic autonomous particle has been determined as well. Scattering processes are considered to illustrate these novel features.

Coherent state quantization of quaternions

B. Muraleetharan, Kengatharam Thirulogasanthar

Parallel to the quantization of the complex plane, using the canonical coherent states of a right quaternionic Hilbert space, quaternion field of quaternionic quantum mechanics is quantized. Associated upper symbols, lower symbols, and related quantities are analyzed. Quaternionic version of the harmonic oscillator and Weyl-Heisenberg algebra are also obtained.

Square-well potential in quaternionic quantum mechanics

Sergio Giardino

Abstract The one-dimensional infinite square well is the simplest solution of quantum mechanics, and consequently one of the most important. In this paper, we provide this solution using the real Hilbert space approach to quaternionic quantum mechanics ( ). We further provide the one-dimensional finite as well and a method to generate quaternionic solutions from non-degenerate complex solutions.

Quaternionic elastic scattering

Sergio Giardino

Abstract We study the elastic scattering of quantum particles based on a real Hilbert space approach to quaternionic quantum mechanics ( QM) and derive expression for the wave function, the phase shifts, as well as the optical theorem for the case of a hard sphere scattering potential. The strong agreement between these new quaternionic results and the corresponding results in complex quantum mechanics reinforce the validity of the QM generalization of ordinary complex quantum mechanics ( QM).

Quaternionic Dirac free particle

Sergio Giardino

In this paper, we solve the quaternionic Dirac equation [Formula: see text] in the real Hilbert space, and we ascertain that their free particle solutions set comprises eight elements in the case of a massive particle, and a four elements solutions set in the case of a massless particle, a richer situation when compared to the four elements solutions set of the usual complex Dirac equation [Formula: see text]. These free particle solutions were unknown in the previous solutions of anti-Hermitian quaternionic quantum mechanics, and constitute an essential element in order to build a quaternionic quantum field theory [Formula: see text].
