Quantum, classical and semiclassical momentum distributions: I. Theory and elementary examples

H. J. Korsch, B Schellhaaß

We discuss the basic properties of momentum distributions in quantum mechanics for elementary systems as well as their classical analogue. Semiclassical approximations can show a quantitative connection between the classical and quantum cases. We believe that such distributions provide a useful tool to improve the understanding of elementary quantum mechanics. Important differences between distributions in coordinate and momentum space are pointed out. Elementary examples (free and uniformly accelerating particle, harmonic oscillator and square-well potential) are discussed.

H. J. Korsch, B Schellhaaß

The basic properties of momentum distributions in quantum mechanics for elementary systems as well as their (semi-)classical analogue derived in a preceding paper are illustrated by a detailed analysis of the Morse oscillator and the three-dimensional Coulomb potential, where the distributions can be calculated in closed form.
