Quantizing Simple Periodic Systems Using Bohr's Rule and its Modification

Published Mar 3, 2023• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

Here we present some new applications of the well-known Bohr's quantisation rule along with its modifications to deduce quantised energy levels of some simple systems.The values agree quite well with those derived from proper quantum mechanics.The article has a pedagogical value.

Bohr–Sommerfeld, WKB, and modified semiclassical quantization rules

D. J. W. Geldart, David Kiang

The WKB approximation for energy eigenvalues can be advantageously introduced to students when the Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization rule is discussed. A simple heuristic derivation of these quantization rules is given. Exceptional cases occur when conditions necessary for the validity of semiclassical approximations are violated, but appropriate modifications can still provide useful semiclassical approximations even in such cases. Various situations are illustrated by examples.

On quantization of simple harmonic oscillators

Kazuhiko Odaka, Tatsuya Kishi, S. Kamefuchi

A general framework is presented of quantizing the system of a simple harmonic oscillator. Various methods of quantization so far proposed are accommodated here in a unified form. Some remarks are also made on quantization for the case of more than one oscillator.

A modified Bohr’s quantization rule to estimate the energy levels of relativistic systems

Felan Amal, Tavarekere Shivalingaswamy, B. A. Kagali

Abstract Estimation of quantum energy levels is crucial to understand the physical systems in both non relativistic and relativistic domains. Here we put forward a new method to deduce quantized energy levels of some simple relativistic quantum systems without solving wave equations but using Bohr’s quantization rule along with a few suitable modifications. The results obtained are in good agreement with formal calculations available in the literature.

On Dirac Quantisation rules and the trace anomaly

T. C. Choy

In this article I shall clarify various aspects of the Dirac quantisation rules of 1930\cite{Dirac}, namely (i) the choice of antisymmetric Poisson brackets, (ii) the first quantisation Rule 1 (iii) the second quantisation Rule 2, and their relations to the trace anomaly. In fact in 1925 Dirac already had a preliminarily formulation of these rules \cite{Dirac3}. Using them, he had independently rediscovered the Born-Jordan quantisation rule \cite{BornJordan1925} and called it the quantum condition. This is the best known and undoubtedly most significant of the canonical quantisation rules of quantum mechanics. We shall discuss several violations of the Poisson-Lie algebra (assumed by Dirac), starting from antisymmetry, which is the first criterion for defining a Lie algebra. Similar violations also occur for the Leibniz's rule and the Jacobi identity, the latter we shall also prove for all our quantum Poisson brackets. That none of these violations jeopardised Dirac's ingenious original derivation \cite{Dirac} of his first quantisation Rule 1, is quite remarkable. This is because the violations are all of higher orders in $\hbar$. We shall further show that (ii) does not automatically lead to a trace anomaly for certain bounded integrable operators. Several issues that are both pedagogical and foundational arising from this study show that quantum mechanics is still not a finished product. I shall briefly mention some attempts and options to complete its development.
