THE BASIC EQUATIONS OF NON-RELATIVISTIC WAVE MECHANICS

André Rot

Published Jan 1, 1960• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The Schroedinger wave equation is examined to determine if it can be formulated in a more rigorous and at the same time more general form to synthesize the ideas of wave and corpuscular motions. The various possibilities which are contained in non-relativistic wave mechanics and which seem to be the prerogative of relativistic theories are examined. The cases of spin and isotopic space are considered. (J.S.R.)

THE INTERPRETATION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS. THE CASE OF THE RELATIVISTIC VELOCITY OF A PARTICLE WITHOUT SPIN

A.B. Datzeff

In previous works on probabilistic description of the quantum motion of a micro-particle mu the non-relativistic Schroedinger equation was derived. The idea developed is now used to show that one can find this probabilistic description for mu also for relativistic velocities. (T.R.H.)

Schrödinger’s wave quantum mechanics is actually the corpuscular-wave mechanics of a non-relativistic electron.

Субхон Джомирзоев

The hundred and fifty years ago, I.Newton, in his corpuscular classic mechanics (CCM), introduced mass as an initial quantity, and, an its basis, defined other corpuscular quantities of CCM. And a hundred years ago, the corpuscular-wave properties of microparticles testified to the inherent corpuscular-wave quantities (CWQ), which as the initial value had the product of mass and wavelength. Accordingly, just as Newton’s CCM was based on corpuscular quantities, corpuscular-wave mechanics (CWM) should have been based on CWQ in the same way. But a hundred years ago, Plank’s and Einstein, to describe the corpuscular-wave properties of the photon, used hybrid of corpuscular quantities Newton’s CCM and wave quantities of wave optics, which a priori, by their definition, were insufficient to describe the CWQ of the photon. Subsequently, de Broglie and Schrödinger applied the method of Planck and Einstein to the case of a non-relativistic electron (NE), and obtained wave quantum mechanics (WQM). But the WQM he obtained turned out to be a real puzzle, and now, a hundred years later, l was able to discover that in reality WQM is an incomplete version of the CWM NE. The campaign managed to find out that Newton’s CCM arises in the form of a special case of the CWM macroscopic body. In this regard, now, l seem to be a Tajikistan physicist who discovered CWQ and CWM physics.

RELATIVISTIC QUANTUM MECHANICS

Vishnu S. Mathur, Surendra Singh

We have seen in earlier chapters that non-relativistic quantum mechanics does provide a consistent scheme to explain numerous phenomena in atomic, molecular and nuclear physics, but it does not conform to the equivalence of space and time as envisaged in the theory of relativity.

Case of an Electron

Lukong Cornelius Fai

It is not possible to use the Schrödinger equation to describe the motion of a particle with relativistic effects since it is not invariant relative to the Lorentz transformation. However, the attempt to generalize quantum mechanics in the relativistic domain on the basis of the one particle theory is somehow difficult. So we find the appropriate equations on the basis of the relativistic invariance. To obtain the non-relativistic equations, we take the limit as the speed of light tends to infinity. This obviously recovers the Schrödinger equation. Under this heading, we extend the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation in the description of particles with speeds comparable with that of light. This extension should be consistent with the Lorentz transformation [ 12 ]. The characteristic feature of the relativistic wave equations is the spin which provides a useful gauge in the applicability of particular equations that describe particular kinds of particles. We have two types of relativistic equations, i.e., the equation with spin-zero due to Schrödinger and spin-half due to Dirac that describes the electron.

Relativistic Schrödinger Equation

Z. Ficek

This chapter introduces the concepts of the relativistic theory to basic problems of quantum physics, in particular, the extension of the Schrodinger equation to a relativistic form. Starting from the fundamental laws of relativity, the chapter evaluates the Klein–Gordon equation and investigates if the equation can be considered a generalization of the non-relativistic Schrodinger equation to the case of the relativistic energy. The chapter shows that the wave function, which is a solution to the Klein–Gordon equation, cannot be connected with the probability wave function. For this reason, the Dirac equation is used to solve the problems faced by the Klein–Gordon equation. The Dirac equation also includes the spin. The advantage of the Dirac equation over the Schrodinger and Klein–Gordon equations is that it naturally includes the spin. In the Schrodinger and Klein–Gordon equations, the spin is not present and has to be added to the wave function manually whenever the wave function determines a system with the spin.

Scale relativistic formulation of non-differentiable mechanics II: The Schroedinger picture

Mei-Hui Teh, Laurent Nottale A, Stephan LeBohec

This article is the second in a series of two presenting the Scale Relativistic approach to non-differentiability in mechanics and its relation to quantum mechanics. Here, we show Schroedinger's equation to be a reformulation of Newton's fundamental relation of dynamics as generalized to non-differentiable geometries in the first paper \cite{paper1}. It motivates an alternative interpretation of the other axioms of standard quantum mechanics in a coherent picture. This exercise validates the Scale Relativistic approach and, at the same time, it allows to identify macroscopic chaotic systems considered at time scales exceeding their horizon of predictability as candidates in which to search for quantum-like structuring or behavior.
