Stochastic space-time and the concept of potential in classical mechanics

R. K. Roy Choudhury, S. Roy

Published Nov 15, 1980• 3 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The fluctuation of space-time in the microdomain gives rise to the potential at the macrolevel depending on the averaging procedure adopted. This raises a new possibility of describing the measurement procedure both in classical and quantum mechanics.

Stochastic space-time and the concept of potential in classical and quantum mechanics

R. K. Roy Choudhury, S. Roy

The generation of a potential from the fluctuation of the metric of micro-space-time due to an averaging procedure at the macrolevel as proposed in a previous paper in one dimension has been generalized to three dimensions. Also, an attempt is made to study the behavior of quantum processes in this framework. It raises a new possibility of rethinking the role of the potential in quantum mechanics.

Relativistic Brownian motion and the space–time approach to quantum mechanics

Sisir Roy

An attempt has been made to extend the stochastic quantization procedures introduced by Nelson in the nonrelativistic case to the relativistic case in the four-dimensional Finsler space. The space–time in the microdomain is considered to be quantized and a more general concept of probability is needed to have a consistent and complete theory of quantum mechanics.

Time as a stochastic process

M. W. Kalinowski

In the paper we consider an interesting possibility of a time as a stochastic process in quantum mechanics.In order to do it we reconsider time as a mechanical quantity in classical mechanics and afterwards we quantize it. We consider continuous and discrete time.

On the drift in stochastic mechanics

Ian M Davies

For a large class of Hamiltonians the author expresses the stochastic mechanical drift in terms of a solution of the classical equation of motion and comments on the use of Ito equations to study how quantum mechanics approximates classical mechanics.

Time problem in quantum mechanics and its analysis by the concept of weak measurements

Julius Ruseckas, Bronislovas Kaulakys

The model of weak measurements is applied to various problems, related to the time problem in quantum mechanics.The review and generalization of the theoretical analysis of the time problem in quantum mechanics based on the concept of weak measurements are presented.A question of the time interval the system spends in the specified state, when the final state of the system is given, is raised.Using the concept of weak measurements the expression for such time is obtained.The results are applied to the tunnelling problem.A procedure for the calculation of the asymptotic tunnelling and reflection times is proposed.Examples for δ-form and rectangular barrier illustrate the obtained results.Using the concept of weak measurements the arrival time probability distribution is defined by analogy with the classical mechanics.The proposed procedure is suitable to the free particles and to particles subjected to an external potential, as well.It is shown that such an approach imposes an inherent limitation to the accuracy of the arrival time definition.

Levitodynamics: An analysis of quantum fluctuations based on stochastic mechanics

Henk, Kai-Hendrik, Wolfgang Paul

Levitodynamics, i.e., the levitation of objects of mesoscopic size has made huge progress in the last decade, giving rise to new experimental opportunities for instance in materials science, but also allowing to address questions of fundamental physics for the first time. It has become possible to cool a levitated particle of mesoscopic size down to its motional ground state and to observe its motion driven by quantum fluctuations. Such an experiment is ideally suited for an analysis within the stochastic mechanics approach to quantum mechanics, which allows for a dynamic description of individual particle paths. We show that within our approach we reproduce the findings of a recent experiment [Magrini et al., Nature 595-373-377 (2021)]. The phase space dynamics reported there based on a quantum optimal control using Kalman filtering can be understood using the concept of coherent states.
