Motion in quantum mechanics

Manfred Thiele

Published Jul 10, 2026• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Title: Motion in Quantum Mechanics This publication describes motion in quantum mechanics as the processual displacement of a C (centrum C) - state along a radius r . Velocity is not defined as distance per unit time, but as process velocity, which arises from the coupling of orbital rotation and intrinsic rotation. The inverse proportionality of distance and process velocity replaces the classical m/s definition . Linear momentum becomes visible as explosive momentum, and vortex momentum as a natural form of motion. The blur relation shows that the start and end points are projections and that the distance vanishes during the process. Space is vortex. Movement is process. C carries the state, r carries the displacement. Everything visible is the trace of a process—never the line of an object.

On the principles of quantum mechanics

Eijiro Sakai

We propose six principles as the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics: principle of space and time, Galilean principle of relativity, Hamilton's principle, wave principle, probability principle, and principle of indestructibility and increatiblity of particles. We deductively develop the formalism of quantum mechanics on the basis of them: we determine the form of the Lagrangian that satisfies requirements of these principles, and obtain the Schroedinger equation from the Lagrangian. We also derive the canonical commutation relations. Then we adopt the following four guide lines. First, we do not premise the relations between dynamical variables in classical mechanics. Second, we define energy, momentum, and angular momentum as the constants of motion that are derived from homogeneity and isotropy in space and time on the basis of principle of space and time. Since energy and momentum are quantitatively defined in classical mechanics, we define them in quantum mechanics so that the corresponding conservation laws are satisfied in a coupling system of a quantum particle and a classical particle. Third, we define Planck's constant and the mass of a particle as proportionality constants between energy and frequency due to one of Einstein-de Broglie formulas and between momentum and velocity, respectively. We shall obtain the canonical commutation relations and the Schroedinger equation for a particle in an external field in the definitive form. We shall also prove that relations between dynamical variables in quantum mechanics have the same forms for those in classical mechanics.

Quantum Mechanics

Hitoshi Kitada

I consider in this book a formulation of Quantum Mechanics. Usually QM is formulated based on the notion of time and space, both of which are thought a priori given quantities or notions. However, when we try to define the notion of velocity or momentum, we encounter a difficulty as we will see in chapter 1. The problem is that if the notion of time is given a priori, the velocity is definitely determined when given a position, which contradicts the uncertainty principle of Heisenberg. We then set the basis of QM on the notion of position and momentum operators as in chapter 2. Time of a local system then is defined approximately as a ratio $|x|/|v|$ between the space coordinate $x$ and the velocity $v$. In this formulation of QM, we can keep the uncertainty principle, and time is a quantity that does not have precise values unlike the usually supposed notion of time has. The feature of local time is that it is a time proper to each local system, which is defined as a finite set of quantum mechanical particles. We now have an infinite number of local times that are unique and proper to each local system. Based on the notion of local time, the motion inside a local system is described by the usual Schrodinger equation. We investigate such motion in a given local system in part II. This is a usual quantum mechanics. After some excursion of the investigation of local motion, we consider in part III the relative relation or motion between plural local systems. In the final part IV, we will prove that there is at least one Universe wave function $\phi$ in which all local systems have local motions and thus local times. This concludes our formulation of Quantum Mechanics.

Motion From a Particle's Point of View: Relativistic Mechanics

Blazej Kot

has traditionally been defined extrinsically, as the change in the position of an object, such as a particle, over time. In previous work titled Motion From a Particle's Point of View: An Interpretation of the Double Slit Experiment we argued that this definition of motion is incomplete and that it is using it which leads to the weirdness of quantum mechanics, as exemplified by the double slit experiment. We proposed an alternative intrinsic definition of motion, using which we claimed quantum mechanics can be understood without weirdness. In this paper, we extend this previous work, which only considered constant-speed motion of a single particle, to the case of: first, multiple particles in constant-speed motion; and, second, the case of multiple accelerating, that is, interacting, particles. We show we can in this way recover the key equations and phenomena of both special and general relativity. By showing that the intrinsic definition of motion underlies the theories of special and general relativity, as well as quantum mechanics, we propose it may be of use in developing a theory of quantum gravity.

The Quantum Mechanical State

David Hodgson

In classical physics, the ‘state’ of a particle, at any particular time, is taken to involve a definite position in space and a definite motion; and the state of a system of particles is taken to involve a definite position in space and a definite motion for each of the particles. The situation in relation to quantum mechanics is completely different. As in classical physics, calculations can be made concerning the position and motion of a particle. However, this representation is not by means of symbols for scalar or vector quantities: it is by a more complex mathematical object. This quantum state does not indicate or represent position or motion in any direct way: what it does in substance is to enable calculation of the probability of the particle in question being found to have a position or momentum if an appropriate measurement is made.

Quantum Physics and Quantum Computation

Andreas Wichert

Classical mechanics is usually valid at the macro scale. The changes in the position and the momentum of the object over time are described by the Hamiltonian equation of motion. The wave function in quantum mechanics, if unobserved, evolves in a smooth and continuous way according to the Schrodinger equation, which is related to the Hamiltonian equation of motion. This equation describes a linear superposition of different states at time. A quantum mechanical description of a physical system is related to a probabilistic representation; it is described by a vector in Hilbert space. This description extends the two- or three-dimensional Euclidean space into spaces that have any finite or infinite number of dimensions. The state of a compound system is projected to the subspace that corresponds to the observed state and the vector representing the state is renormalized to the unit length. An observable describes a subspace for some dimensions with a special case of one dimension.
