The article shows that quantum phenomena can be explained by the algebraic structure of space of the fundamental physical value of action. The eigenvalue operator problem is obtained as a consequence of an algebraic action vector multiplication law, existence of which we conceded. Thus we come to the explanation of quantum phenomena by the algebraic structure of the space of action vectors. Also the authors planned the path for explanations of types of quantum operators in relation to classical differentiation operators: multipliers included into the structure constants can be transferred to the operators of differentiation. Such multipliers include imaginary unit. In addition, it was established understanding of wave function as a partial differential of an action vector.
We develop a new concept of quantum mechanics which is based on a generalized space-time and on an action vector space similar to it. Both spaces are provided by algebraic properties. This allows to calculate the Dirac matrixes and to derive quantum mechanics equations from structure equations of the specified algebras. A new interpretation of the wave function is given as differential of the action vector. A generalization of the Dirac equation for 8-component wave function is derived. It is interpreted as the equation for two leptons of the same generation. A procedure of the approximate description of free leptons is formulated. The generalized equation of quantum mechanics is reduced to the Dirac, Pauli and Schrödinger equations by the sequential use of this procedure. We explain the existence of three lepton generations.
The fundamental role of an operator is to effect a transformation. Differential operators and matrices are two important examples of how operators can be represented in a concrete way that makes quantitative calculations possible on systems that they represent. Both types of operator play important roles in quantum mechanics and the people shall meet them again. In a sense an operator interrogates a system represented by its eigenfunction, which results in a definite answer given by the eigenvalue. Operators with real eigenvalues also play a key role in quantum theory. Operators with real eigenvalues are conventionally represented by what are termed Hermitian or self-adjoint operators. Non-commutation has important consequences when it comes to information about two different parameters associated with a system. The connection between differentiation of a product, the Leibniz rule, and the commutator bracket, is indicative of the underlying algebraic structure of differential calculus.
This work reformulates quantum mechanics on the real plane
(R2), establishing an algebraic isomorphism to the complex field
(C) and demonstrating that the complex structure inherent to the Schrödinger equation can be fully captured by coupled real-valued dynamics. By constructing a field
(R2,+,⋅) isomorphic to
C, the real counterpart of the Schrödinger equation is derived, yielding a system of coupled real partial differential equations. This system reveals a symplectic structure where the symplectic matrix
J geometrically represents the imaginary unit
i, acting as a phase-space rotation operator. Time-independent solutions decouple into identical real Helmholtz equations, preserving spectral equivalence. The reformulation provides geometric insights into foundational aspects: the geometric representation of
i, the emergence of probability conservation from real-component interactions, and the encoding of quantum phase relationships through the multiplicative structure of the
R2 field. This perspective reinforces connections to classical Hamiltonian mechanics and geometric quantization, suggesting that complex numbers are structural, emerging from field operations on the real plane, rather than fundamental. Furthermore, quantum computation elements like qubits and gates are shown to have equivalent representations as real symplectic and special orthogonal matrices, maintaining unitary equivalence. We introduce a framework for quantum computation within a real vector space and provide a generalized protocol for generating entangled Bell states. These results offer a new perspective on the necessity of complex numbers in quantum theory, providing a framework with potential computational advantages for hybrid quantum-classical systems and enhanced geometric interpretability.
This book is a comprehensive text in the field of quantum mechanics, covering fundamental concepts including the state of a quantum mechanical system, operators, superposition principle and measurement postulate. The notion of an operator and the algebra of operators are introduced with the help of elementary concepts of mathematical analysis. Mathematical tools developed will help readers in understanding the difficulties encountered in classical physics while trying to explain the experimental results involving atomic spectra and other phenomena. The differential equations that arise while solving eigenvalue problems are solved rigorously, to make the text self-sufficient. The solutions are then physically interpreted and explained. The text offers solved examples, analogous and homework problems to help students in solving practical problems of physics requiring quantum mechanical treatment.
Although• quantum mechanics has achieved great success in the explanation of physical phenomena, the mathematics used in quantum mechanics is not rigorous.Unrigorous treatments occur in the case of continuous spectrum.In a Hilbert • space, let A be a self-adjoint operator.When we define the eigenvalue and the eigenelement by the ' ' relation Af=J.f, (1) ' ' h d -. -f(q)=).f(q)2m dq has solutions 2,ri f(q)=ce"Aq for any ;.., But these are not quadratically integrable.E. Hellinger and H. Weyi< 0 have already investigated the problem of continuous spectrum and introduced the " eigendifferential."But they are concerned with a special problem, i. e. bounded quadratic forms and solutions of differential equation.In respect of generality, they do not satisfy.< 2 > E. Fues< 3 > and some other writers<" have used this conception " eigendifferential " in quantum mechanics.But the treatments are either complicated or not rigorous.J. v. Neumann< 5 > has proved that in Hilbert space, for any selfadjoint operator A, there exists a resolution of identity E(;..) such that Af= J:and he has applied this theory to quantum mechanics.Although his theory gave a rigorous mathematical foundation to quantum mechanics, it did not give any interpretation to the representation theory of Dirac's form.Recently I investigated the "theory of vector-valued set functions."This theory removes the difficulties in the treatement of continuous spectrum, and gives a rigorous interpretation to the representation theory.< 5 > The vector-valued set function q(U) is a function of set U, and its functional value is an element (vector) in the Hilbert ,space, (1) E.
