Quantum Theory of Two Coupled Particles

Z. Ficek

Published Apr 27, 2016• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Suppose that a particle of mass m can rotate around a fixed point A , such that r = constant and θ = π /2 = constant. Show that the motion of the particle is quantized. Show that the only acceptable solutions to the wave function of the particle are those corresponding to positive energies ( E > 0) of the particle.

Rotation

Peter Atkins, Julio de Paula, James Keeler

This Topic switches attention from motion in a line to motion first on a circle and then on the surface of a sphere. By imposing certain constraints on the wavefunction it shows how the energy and angular momentum of a particle rotating in two and three dimensions are quantized. The conclusions are crucial to the description of electrons in atoms and of molecules rotating in space.

Wave equation for dissipative systems derived from a quantized many-body problem

Mohsen Razavy

A classical many-body problem composed of an infinite number of mass points coupled together by springs is quantized. The masses and the spring constants in this system are chosen in such a way that the motion of each particle is exponentially damped. Because of the quadratic form of the Hamiltonian, the many-body wave function of the system can be written as a product of two terms: a time-dependent phase factor which contains correlations between the classical motions of the particles, and a stationary state solution of the Schrödinger equation. By assuming a Hartree type wave function for the many-particle Schrödinger equation, the contribution of the time-dependent part to the single particle wave function is determined, and it is shown that the time-dependent wave function of each mass point satisfies the nonlinear Schrödinger–Langevin equation. The characteristic decay time of any part of the subsystem, in this model, is related to the stiffness of the springs, and is the same for all particles.

Z-U Space Duality: The Unified Mathematical Nature of Quantum Entanglement, Wave Function Collapse, and Macroscopic Motion

Meng Xie

This paper reveals a profound mathematical fact: the constant f ≈ 0.47454 defined by the balance equation ln f + (π/2)f = 0 and its two derived iterative systems—the Z-space iteration z_{n+1} = (z_n + e^{-π z_n/2})/2 and the U-space iteration u_{n+1} = √(u_n) e^{-π u_n/4}—form a pair of dual mathematical structures. These structures precisely correspond to several long-standing dualities in physics: quantum superposition versus measurement outcomes, path integrals versus particle nature, revolution versus rotation, and possibility versus reality. The U-space iteration possesses rigorous mathematical proof of almost global convergence to the fixed point f, while Z-space iteration, though lacking a complete proof, is supported by extensive numerical experiments converging to the same fixed point. The two spaces are connected by the transformation u = e^{-π z/2}. This paper does not propose a new theory but rather observes that: (i) the mathematical nature of observation is a projection transformation from Z-space to U-space; (ii) the mathematical nature of quantum entanglement is that entangled particles share the same global fixed point in Z-space, making their correlation a mathematical necessity rather than superluminal signaling. This framework unifies quantum phenomena with macroscopic motions such as revolution/rotation and cosmic expansion, demonstrating that the physical world, across scales, operates on the same underlying mathematical principle.

Angular Momentum

Şaki̇r Erkoç

When a classical particle moves in a central field the energy and the three components of angular momentum are all constants of the motion. The motion is an orbit whose orientation in space is fixed. To discuss the corresponding situation in quantum mechanics we must examine the commutation properties of the associated operators: If they all commute, then the quantities which they represent may all simultaneously be constants of the motion; if not, we must find as many mutually commuting operators as we can and obtain a maximal set of constants of the motion.

Quantum Mechanics from the Energy Circulation Theory — Wave Function Showing an Energy Location in the 3D Real Space

Shigeto Nagao

The Schrödinger equation is one of the cores in quantum mechanics, but bears a contradiction. In the process to obtain the energy and momentum operators, the relation [Formula: see text] is used for [Formula: see text]. However, when they are applied to the Hamiltonian equation, the kinetic energy is set as [Formula: see text]. Based on the Energy Circulation Theory, we examine in this paper the quantization of motions of a particle. We clarify in which situation and for what energy we can use the relation [Formula: see text]. We derive a wave equation de novo to provide wave functions representing a concrete motion and energy distribution of a particle. The Schrödinger equation has a similar form by chance but the mass in our new equation is that of energy quantum expressed by [Formula: see text], which is common for any energies of any particles and decided only by the moving speed. A solution shows an energy location in the 3D real space even if it is expressed in complex. When a motion of a particle gets in circle, its circular frequency becomes quantized. In an atom, an electron circulates around the hidden dimensional axis, and the circulation can further rotate. We propose the quantization conditions for the electron orbiting, and derive the wave functions in concrete for S and P orbitals, which are different from current perceptions. We also demonstrate that the uncertainty principle is not valid for a motion of a particle.
