State reconstruction and irregular wavefunctions for the hydrogen atom

D. S. Krähmer, Ulf Leonhardt

Published Jul 7, 1997• 4 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Inspired by a recently proposed procedure by Leonhardt and Raymer for wavepacket reconstruction, we calculate the irregular wavefunctions for the bound states of the Coulomb potential. We select the irregular solutions which have the simplest semiclassical limit.

Classical Limit of the Hydrogen Atom

Lowell S. Brown

A wavepacket solution for the hydrogen atom in the region of large principal quantum number n is constructed. This wavepacket follows a classical circular orbit. It has a width on the order of n−1/2 times the size of the orbit.

Effective quantum equations for the semiclassical description of the Hydrogen atom

Guillermo Chacón‐Acosta, Héctor H. Hernández

We study the Hydrogen atom as a quantum mechanical system with a Coulomb like potential, with a semiclassical approach based on an effective description of quantum mechanics. This treatment allows us to describe the quantum state of the system as a system of infinite many classical equations for expectation values of configuration variables, their moments and quantum dispersions. It also provides a semiclassical description of the orbits and the evolution of observables and spreadings and their back-reaction on the evolution.
