One-Dimensional Filamentary Multiparticle Quantum Structures Arising in the Plane Transverse to External Homogeneous Magnetic Field

Abstract

It is shown that a single-particle wave function Ψ, obtained (Landau, 1930) as a solution of the Schr?dinger equation (for a charged particle in a homogeneous magnetic field), and an operator relation of (or equation ) lead to the dynamic description of one-dimensional many-particle quantum filamentary states. Thus, one can overcome the problem, connected with the finding of many-body wave function as solution of the Schr?dinger equation with a very tangled Hamiltonian for multi-body system. An effect of nonlocality appears. The dependence of the linear density of particles on the magnetic field and on the number of particles in the one- dimension filamentary multiparticle quantum structure is calculated.

Electron wave-functions in a magnetic field

D. K. Sunko

The problem of a single electron in a magnetic field is revisited from first principles. It is shown that the standard quantization, used by Landau, is inconsistent for this problem, whence Landau's wave functions spontaneously break the gauge symmetry of translations in the plane. Because of this Landau's (and Fock's) wave functions have a spurious second quantum number. The one-body wave function of the physical orbit, with only one quantum number, is derived, and expressed as a superposition of Landau's wave functions. Conversely, it is shown that Landau's wave functions are a limiting case of physical solutions of a different problem, where two quantum numbers naturally appear. When the translation gauge symmetry is respected, the degeneracy related to the choice of orbit center does not appear in the one-body problem.

Dynamics of a Quantum Particle Interacting With an Electromagnetic Field

Eliade N. Stefanescu

Essentially, we solve the particle-field equations obtained in the matter distribution quantum mechanics. In the framework of this theory, a particle is described by a density amplitude function, we call wave function, as a packet of waves with the time dependent phases proportional to the relativistic Lagrangian. The mass quantization of such a particle, as a distribution of matter, is obtained from the equality of the spatial integral of the density with the mass as a characteristic of the relativistic dynamics of this matter. The particle dynamics, as a motion of a mass spatial distribution, is obtained from the equality of the wave propagation velocities with the distribution coordinate velocities. This description is a physical one, compared to the Schrödinger-Heisenberg description leading to unphysical results as a null velocity for the kinetic energy as a constant of motion, or Zitterbewegung. The description of a particle interaction with an electromagnetic field by additional Lagrangian terms, with a vector potential conjugated to coordinates, as in the Aharonov-Bohm effect, and an electric potential conjugated to time, leads to the Lorentz force, and the Maxwell equations. In the two conjugated spaces, of the coordinates and of the momentum, the dynamics of a quantum particle is described by propagation operators, depending on the coordinate-momentum product, applied to time dependent wave functions satisfying matter-field equations. Unlike the standard Schrödinger or Schrödinger-Dirac equations, depending only on the Hamiltonian operator, instead of the Hamiltonian these equations contain the Lagrangian, which, besides the Hamiltonian, include additional terms with an explicit dependence on velocity, as it is expected in a relativistic theory. We obtain the wave function of a particle-antiparticle system interacting with an electromagnetic field, as a wave packet of spinors propagating in space with finite dimensions, given by the finite definition domain of the density function, in the space of the matter-field momentum, as a constant of motion. We show that an electrically charged quantum particle, rotating in a central electric field, generates a vector potential with a magnetic field perpendicular to the rotational plane and an electric field in this plane. By a quantum transition, a photon is emitted in the particle rotational plane, with the magnetic field perpendicular to this plane, and the electric field contained in this plane. In this framework, the vector potential rotation is correlated to a particle momentum rotation, for the canonical matter-field momentum as a constant of motion, without any electromagnetic field radiated outside.

St¨uckelberg particle in external magnetic field. Nonrelativistic approximation. Exact solutions

Elena M. Ovsiyuk, A. Safronov, Alina V. Ivashkevich +1 more

The St¨uckelberg equation for a particle with two spin states, S = 1 and S = 0, is studied in the presence of an external uniform magnetic field. In relativistic case, the particle is described by an 11-component wave function. On the solutions of the equation, the operators of energy, the third projection of the total angular momentum, and the third projection of the linear momentum along the direction of the magnetic field are diagonalized. After separation of variables, we derive a system for 11 functions depending on one variable. We perform the nonrelativistic approximation in this system. For this we apply the known method of deriving nonrelativistic equations from relativistic ones, which is based on projective operators related to the matrix Γ0 of the relativistic equation. The nonrelativistic wave function turns out to be 4-dimensional. We derive the system for 4 functions. It is solved in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. There arise three series of energy levels with corresponding solutions. This result agrees with that obtained for the relativistic St¨uckelberg equation.

Irreversible Wave Packet Dynamics in a Magnetic Field

Dieter Schuch

It has been shown that the irreversible dynamics of a system in a dissipative environment can be described by an effective one-particle Hamiltonian (in the classical case) or an effective one-particle Schrödinger equation (in the quantum mechanical case) without taking into account the environmental degrees of freedom explicitly. In the quantum mechanical case, the description can be achieved either by a nonlinear modification of the Schrödinger equation or an explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonian operator — where both forms are connected via a non-unitary transformation, corresponding to a non-canonical transformation on the classical level. Taking into account an external magnetic field, in both formalisms, an additional unphysical gauge-dependent term occurs in the equations of motion. This shortcoming can be eliminated if the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian that provide Maxwell’s equations of electrodynamics undergo, in the dissipative case, the same kind of transformation as the mechanical degrees of freedom of the system. As a result, a consistent description in terms of exact analytical wave packet-solutions for the dissipative motion in a magnetic field can be obtained that will be discussed in detail.

Two particles with opposite charge in a homogeneous magnetic field: particular analytical solutions of the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation

M. Taut

The two-dimensional Schrödinger equation for two particles with opposite charge and Coulomb interaction in a homogeneous magnetic field (perpendicular to the plane) is investigated. Analytical solutions are found for zero quasi-momentum (pair at rest) and for an infinite, but countable set of magnetic field values.

Essentially, we solve the particle-field equations obtained in the matter distribution quantum mechanics. In the framework of this theory, a particle is described by a density amplitude function, we call wave function, as a packet of waves with the time dependent phases proportional to the relativistic Lagrangian. The mass quantization of such a particle, as a distribution of matter, is obtained from the equality of the spatial integral of the density with the mass as a characteristic of the relativistic dynamics of this matter. The particle dynamics, as a motion of a mass spatial distribution, is obtained from the equality of the wave propagation velocities with the distribution coordinate velocities. This description is a physical one, compared to the Schrödinger-Heisenberg description leading to unphysical results as a null velocity for the kinetic energy as a constant of motion, or Zitterbewegung. The description of a particle interaction with an electromagnetic field by additional Lagrangian terms, with a vector potential conjugated to coordinates, as in the Aharonov-Bohm effect, and an electric potential conjugated to time, leads to the Lorentz force, and the Maxwell equations. In the two conjugated spaces, of the coordinates and of the momentum, the dynamics of a quantum particle is described by propagation operators, depending on the coordinate-momentum product, applied to time dependent wave functions satisfying matter-field equations. Unlike the standard Schrödinger or Schrödinger-Dirac equations, depending only on the Hamiltonian operator, instead of the Hamiltonian these equations contain the Lagrangian, which, besides the Hamiltonian, include additional terms with an explicit dependence on velocity, as it is expected in a relativistic theory. We obtain the wave function of a particle-antiparticle system interacting with an electromagnetic field, as a wave packet of spinors propagating in space with finite dimensions, given by the finite definition domain of the density function, in the space of the matter-field momentum, as a constant of motion. We show that an electrically charged quantum particle, rotating in a central electric field, generates a vector potential with a magnetic field perpendicular to the rotational plane and an electric field in this plane. By a quantum transition, a photon is emitted in the particle rotational plane, with the magnetic field perpendicular to this plane, and the electric field contained in this plane. In this framework, the vector potential rotation is correlated to a particle momentum rotation, for the canonical matter-field momentum as a constant of motion, without any electromagnetic field radiated outside.
