Hydrodynamical formulation of Wigner–Dunkl quantum mechanics

Abstract

The hydrodynamical form of Wigner–Dunkl quantum mechanics has been formulated. The main step to get such formulation was to derive a pair of Madelung-like equations (called Madelung–Wigner–Dunkl equations) from the Schrödinger equation appearing in Wigner–Dunkl quantum mechanics. Some aspects of both equations contained in the pair, i.e. the inhomogeneous continuity equation and the quantum Hamilton–Jacobi equation, have been investigated and discussed. With certain assumption, the relation between the expectation value of the quantum potential appearing in the quantum Hamilton–Jacobi equation and the so-called Fisher information has been derived. Then an uncertainty relation between momentum and position which may be tighter than the standard uncertainty relation has been derived by using Cramér–Rao inequality and Fisher information.

Emergence of the Schrödinger Equation from Reversible Probability Dynamics

AI Trinity Labo

This work presents a reconstruction of quantum mechanics in which Schrödinger-type dynamics emerges from reversible probabilistic evolution rather than being postulated. Starting from a normalized probability density, we impose reversible probability dynamics, Fisher information geometry, and classical correspondence. These compatibility conditions yield coupled real equations equivalent to the continuity equation and the Hamilton–Jacobi equation with an additional information curvature (quantum potential) term. By combining density and phase into a complex amplitude, the Schrödinger equation appears as a compact encoding of reversible statistical flow. The result is mathematically equivalent to the Madelung hydrodynamic formulation and structurally connected to Bohmian mechanics, but derived without assuming Hilbert space, operator axioms, or measurement postulates. The work can therefore be viewed as an information-geometric derivation of quantum dynamics: quantum theory arises as the unique consistent representation of reversible probability flow. Keywords: quantum foundations, quantum reconstruction, emergent quantum mechanics, derivation of the Schrödinger equation, information geometry, Fisher information, Hamilton–Jacobi theory, Madelung formulation, Bohmian mechanics, reversible probability dynamics

Uncertainty Relations in the Madelung Picture

Moise Bonilla–Licea, Dieter Schuch

Madelung showed how the complex Schrödinger equation can be rewritten in terms of two real equations, one for the phase and one for the amplitude of the complex wave function, where both equations are not independent of each other, but coupled. Although these equations formally look like classical hydrodynamic equations, they contain all the information about the quantum system. Concerning the quantum mechanical uncertainties of position and momentum, however, this is not so obvious at first sight. We show how these uncertainties are related to the phase and amplitude of the wave function in position and momentum space and, particularly, that the contribution from the phase essentially depends on the position-momentum correlations. This will be illustrated explicitly using generalized coherent states as examples.

On the hydrodynamic interpretation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics

James Day

The Madelung equations express the Schrödinger equation as a continuity equation and modified Hamilton–Jacobi equation. These equations are equivalent to the Euler equations for a compressible, potential flow, when classical pressure per unit density is replaced by the quantum potential per unit mass. We extend this hydrodynamic interpretation by quantising a single, spinless, non-relativistic particle constrained to a surface wave with small slope. The wave is distinct from the wave function and, in order to reproduce the Schrödinger equation, it must satisfy the kinematic boundary condition for a free surface advected by twice the Madelung velocity field.

Deformed quantum mechanics with extended Dunkl derivative

Yusmantoro Yusmantoro

In this research, we investigate the extended Dunkl quantum mechanics with two parameters. We apply this formalism to study general quantum phenomena. Using cartesian coordinate, we calculate the solution to problem of a spinless particle confined to a box in three dimensions. Then, we derive the creation and annihilation operators to analyze harmonic oscillator in three dimensions via algebraic approach. Subsequently, utilizing the same operators and the generators of [Formula: see text] Lie algebra, we examine the Dirac harmonic oscillator in [Formula: see text] dimension. Finally, we construct the hydrodynamical formulation of the extended Dunkl quantum mechanics by deriving continuity and quantum Hamilton–Jacobi equations.

A novel approach to the quantum hydrodinamic equations of motion by means of Fisher information

Juan Villacres

The quantum hydrodynamic equations are traditionally associated with the de Broglie-Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics in terms of hidden variables.Here, it is proposed a way to arrive to such equations by means of Fisher Information, departing from a conceptual framework that differs from the one posed in Bohmian mechanics.Based on this, a method to obtain quantum equations starting from classical ones is proposed.This, is used to obtain the Klein-Gordon equation departing from the relativistic Hamilton-Jacobi equation.

Hydrodynamical formulation of quantum mechanics, Kahler structure, and Fisher information

Marcel Reginatto

The Schrodinger equation can be derived using the minimum Fisher information principle. I discuss why such an approach should work, and also show that the Kahler and Hilbert space structures of quantum mechanics result from combining the symplectic structure of the hydrodynamical model with the Fisher information metric.
