Generalization of Classical Statistical Mechanics to Quantum Mechanics and Stable Property of Condensed Matter

Y. C. HUANG, Ma, F C, N. ZHANG

Classical statistical average values are generally generalized to average values of quantum mechanics, it is discovered that quantum mechanics is direct generalization of classical statistical mechanics, and we generally deduce both a general new continuous eigenvalue equation and a general discrete eigenvalue equation in quantum mechanics, and discover that a eigenvalue of quantum mechanics is just an extreme value of an operator in possibility distribution, the eigenvalue f is just classical observable quantity. A general classical statistical uncertain relation is further given, the general classical statistical uncertain relation is generally generalized to quantum uncertainty principle, the two lost conditions in classical uncertain relation and quantum uncertainty principle, respectively, are found. We generally expound the relations among uncertainty principle, singularity and condensed matter stability, discover that quantum uncertainty principle prevents from the appearance of singularity of the electromagnetic potential between nucleus and electrons, and give the failure conditions of quantum uncertainty principle. Finally, we discover that the classical limit of quantum mechanics is classical statistical mechanics, the classical statistical mechanics may further be degenerated to classical mechanics, and we discover that only saying that the classical limit of quantum mechanics is classical mechanics is mistake. As application examples, we deduce both Shrodinger equation and state superposition principle, deduce that there exist decoherent factor from a general mathematical representation of state superposition principle, and the consistent difficulty between statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics and determinant property of classical mechanics is overcome.

Statistical Mechanics and the Ghosts of Departed Quantities

Garnet N. Ord

Quantum mechanics appears to contain ghosts from both classical statistical mechanics and special relativity. On one hand, both the Dirac and Schrödinger equations have classical analogs that emerge directly from classical statistical mechanics, unimpeded by major problems of interpretation. On the other hand, the formal analytic continuation that takes these classical equations to the quantum version introduces a velocity dependent phase. However, among classical theories, only in relativistic mechanics does one find path-dependent phase in the form of relativistic time dilation. This paper explores the idea that if we start with statistical mechanics and special relativity we can discover a version of the quantum algorithm and show that at least some of the resulting ghosts are direct descendants of those connected with the birth of the differential calculus.
