Phase Shifts and the Quantum-Mechanical Hamilton—Jacobi Equation

Donald Jack Kouri, Charles F. Curtiss

Published Sep 15, 1965• 11 citations

Abstract

A method of obtaining absolute phase shifts by integration of the quantum-mechanical Hamilton—Jacobi equation is developed and applied to the example of particles interacting through a Lennard-Jones potential. A new expression for the absolute phase shift is obtained in terms of an irregular solution of the Schrödinger equation.

Coherent states, Schrödinger equation, and the Hamilton–Jacobi equation

Rachad Mounir Shoucri

The self-adjoint form of the classical equation of motion of the harmonic oscillator is used to derive a Hamiltonian-like equation and the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics. A phase variable ϕ(t) instead of time t is used as an independent variable. It is shown that the Hamilton–Jacobi solution in this case is identical with the solution obtained from the Schrödinger equation without the need to introduce the idea of hidden variables or quantum potential.

Solutions of the Schrödinger equation given by solutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi equation

We find the form of the potential depending on the coordinates and the time such that a solution, $S$, of the Hamilton--Jacobi equation yields an exact solution, $\exp ({\rm i} S/\hbar)$, of the corresponding Schrödinger equation.

Linear Canonical Transformations and the Hamilton-Jacobi Theory in Quantum Mechanics

Akihiro Ogura, Motoo Sekiguchi

We investigate two methods of constructing a solution of the Schrödinger equation from the canonical transformation in classical mechanics. One method shows that we can formulate the solution of the Schrödinger equation from linear canonical transformations, the other focuses on the generating function which satisfies the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in classical mechanics. We also show that these two methods lead to the same solution of the Schrödinger equation.

Quantum Hamilton-Jacobi Equation

Vipul Periwal

The nontrivial transformation of the phase space path integral measure under certain discretized analogs of canonical transformations is computed. This Jacobian is used to derive a quantum analog of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the generating function of a canonical transformation that maps any quantum system to a system with a vanishing Hamiltonian. A perturbative solution of the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation is given. This solution gives a new way to compute quantum corrections for any soliton equation for which action-angle variables are known.

From the Hamilton-Jacobi equation to the Schrödinger equation and vice versa, without additional terms and approximations

J.D. Bulnes, M.A.I. Travassos, Davron Aslonqulovich Juraev +1 more

In this article, we will answer a question posed in the book Classical Mechanics by H. Goldstein: ``"Is the Hamilton-Jacobi equation the short wavelength limit of the Schrödinger equation?" But, before that, we will identify an essential element that will take us from the Hamilton-Jacobi equation to the dynamic equation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics for a function ψ through an exact procedure. This element is the linear independence of the functions ψ and ψ* (their complex conjugate). Their independence is demonstrated for physical systems where the acting physical potential does not explicitly depend on time. Proceeding in reverse, from the Schrödinger equation, we obtain the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, exactly, without additional terms.

The complete solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in Quantum Mechanics

Rafael Ferraro

An ordinary unambiguous integral representation for the finite propagator of a quantum system is found by starting of a privileged skeletonization of the functional action in phase space, provided by the complete solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This representation allows to regard the propagator as the sum of the contributions coming from paths where the momenta generated by the complete solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation are conserved -as it does happen on the classical trajectory-, but are not restricted to having the classical values associated with the boundary conditions for the original coordinates.
