Abstract
A full quantum theory of “maximally-decoupled” collective motion is proposed. The essential idea is to develop a quantum theory which is capable by itself of determining a “maximally-decoupled”collective subspace as well as a “maximally-decoupled” collective Hamiltonian, on the basis of a fundamental principle called the invariance principle of the Schrödinger equation.
