Abstract

In this paper, we have sketched what is to be known as fractional path integral representation in quantum mechanics. We will begin with fractional Schrödinger's equation in the framework of Caputo fractional derivatives. Furthermore, Feynman kernel for derived path integrals is established.

"Fractional quantum mechanics is a recently emerged and rapidly developing field of quantum physics. This is the first monograph on fundamentals and physical applications of fractional quantum mechanics, written by its founder.The fractional Schrödinger equation and the fractional path integral are new fundamental physical concepts introduced and elaborated in the book. The fractional Schrödinger equation is a manifestation of fractional quantum mechanics. The fractional path integral is a new mathematical tool based on integration over Lévy flights. The fractional path integral method enhances the well-known Feynman path integral framework. Related topics covered in the text include time fractional quantum mechanics, fractional statistical mechanics, fractional classical mechanics and the α-stable Lévy random process. The book is well-suited for theorists, pure and applied mathematicians, solid-state physicists, chemists, and others working with the Schrödinger equation, the path integral technique and applications of fractional calculus in various research areas. It is useful to skilled researchers as well as to graduate students looking for new ideas and advanced approaches."--Publisher's website

Principles of Fractional Quantum Mechanics

Nick Laskin

A review of fundamentals and physical applications of fractional quantum mechanics has been presented. Fundamentals cover fractional Schrödinger equation, quantum Riesz fractional derivative, path integral approach to fractional quantum mechanics, hermiticity of the Hamilton operator, parity conservation law and the current density. Applications of fractional quantum mechanics cover dynamics of a free particle, new representation for a free particle quantum mechanical kernel, infinite potential well, bound state in δ-potential well, linear potential, fractional Bohr atom and fractional oscillator. We also review fundamentals of the Lévy path integral approach to fractional statistical mechanics.

The Feynman path integral, from the harmonic oscillator to quantum electrodynamics

Rafael Carlos Silva Tonhon

The Feynman path-integral formulation of quantum mechanics is developed. The math- ematical framework is worked out from Schrödinger's equation, illustrating the compati- bility of the two formulations. We introduce the sum over all paths, known as the kernel K, and discuss its implications for events occurring in succession. We compute the kernel for quadratic Lagrangians. Then, making use of imaginary time, we consider the discrete version of the kernel, known as the Euclidean path integral, and use it to solve the (quan- tum) harmonic and anharmonic oscillators through numerical Monte Carlo simulations. Lastly, we use the framework to quantize the electromagnetic field, as a motivation to discuss perturbation theory via Feynman diagrams.

Path Integral Formulation

S. Rajasekar, R. Velusamy

The conventional approach to quantum mechanics begins with the classical Hamiltonian and changes observables to non-commuting operators. Generally, the quantum mechanics based on the Schrodinger equation is preferred for a system of particles. But path integral formulation of quantum mechanics finds applications in more complicated situations, particularly, in quantum field theory. The purpose of solving the Schrodinger equation lies in finding the time evolution operator which is able to generate the time translation of the given system. Richard Feynman noticed that it was necessary to perform integrals over all space variables at every instant of time to find the transition amplitudes. Dissipative phenomena with a quantum origin manifest themselves in many different situations and hence the study of dissipative systems and their quantization is of a great theoretical and practical value. Many dissipative systems can be modelled as a linearly damped harmonic oscillator.

The implementation of Lévy path integral generated by Lévy stochastic process on fractional Schrödinger equation has been investigated in the framework of fractional quantum mechanics. As the comparison, the implementation of Feynmann path integral generated by Wiener stochastic process on Schrödinger equation also has been investigated in the framework of standard quantum mechanics. There are two stochastic processes. There are Lévy stochastic and Wiener stochastic process. Both of them are able to produce fractal. In fractal’s concept, there is a value known as fractal dimension. The implementation of fractal dimension is the diffusion equation obtained by using Fokker Planck equation. In this paper, Lévy and Wiener fractal dimension have been obtained. There are for Lévy and 2 for Wiener/Brown fractal dimension. Fractional quantum mechanics is generalization of standard quantum mechanics. A fractional quantum mechanics state is represented by wave function from fractional Schrödinger equation. Fractional Schrödinger equation is obtained by using kernel of Lévy path integral generated by Lévy stochastic process. Otherwise, standard quantum mechanics state is represented by wave function from standard Schrödinger equation. Standard Schrödinger equation is obtained by using kernel of Feynmann path integral generated by Wiener/Brown stochastic process. Both Lévy and Feynmann Kernel have been investigated and the outputs are the Fourier Integral momentum phase of those kernels. We find that the forms of those kernels have similiraty. Therefore, we obtain Schrödinger equation from Lévy and Feynmann Kernel and also the comparison of Lévy energy in fractional quantum mechanics and particle energy in standard quantum mechanics.
