Construction of the Schrödinger Processes

Masao Nagasawa

Published Jan 1, 2000• 0 citations

Abstract

To construct the Schrödinger processes we must prescribe a state preparation or a pair of the initial and terminal distributions. In the first case we solve the equation of motion (or the Schrödinger equation) and apply the transformation of Markov processes by a multiplicative functional. In the second case we employ the stochastic variational principle. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Dispersive Waves and the Schrödinger Equation

Jeffery Cooper

After a short section in which we discuss the method of stationary phase, we treat dispersive waves. Then we turn to quantum mechanics, using the Fourier transform to establish the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Finally we derive the Schrödinger equation. We solve the free Schrödinger equation and the Schrödinger equation with a square well potential. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Variational Principle for Relativistic Quantum Particles

Masao Nagasawa

The stochastic variational principle discussed in Section 5.5 is based on the relative entropy, for which we need the absolute continuity of probability measures. To show the absolute continuity between jump Markov processes, we will construct a multiplicative functional which is not of Kac type. With the help of the renormalization of the multiplicative functional, we will apply the stochastic variational principle to relativistic quantum particles. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Stochastic Differential Equations of Pure-Jumps

Masao Nagasawa

In the preceding chapter we have formulated the equation of motion of relativistic quantum particles as a pair of evolution equations with fractional power generators which are in formal duality, and shown that the evolution equation has an equivalent formulation in terms of stochastic differential equations of pure-jumps. In this chapter the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the stochastic differential equations of pure-jumps will be proved, and then pure-jump Markov processes will be constructed. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Schrodinger Equation and Hamilton's Equations

Ruggeri, Francesco R.

In (1), it is suggested that one may obtain the Schrodinger equation by using Hamilton’s equations as a starting point, i.e dp/dt = - dH/dq and dq/dt = dH/dp. (1) defines new variables phi(x,t) = ap+ibq and phi*(x,t) and writes: iC dphi/dt partial = {phi, H} and iC dphi*/dt partial ={ phi*, H}, where {} are the Poisson brackets. (1) then changes phi(x,t) into a stochastic variable which still follows these Hamilton-like relations iC dphi/dt = Integral dx H1(x1,x) phi(x) + b(x,t) where H= Integral dx1dx H1 phi*(x1)phi(x) and b(x,t is a random function. In other words, Hamilton’s theory with an added stochastic b(x,t) is applied to a stochastic variable in order to obtain the Schrodinger equation. The catch, however, is that (1) introduces a number of conditions and assumptions to simplify the problem and actually obtains iC dphi/dt = Integral dx H1(x1,x)phi(x) with b(x,t) gone. We suggest that this implies that one may apply the Hamilton-like form directly to a stochastic variable without b(x,t) present. To strengthen this argument, one may consider a bound state in which b(x,t) may be said to average to 0. Basically, the idea of (1) seems to be that quantum mechanics follows from introducing stochastic physics linked to usual Newtonian trajectory physics, in this case Hamilton’s theory. We argue that this is very similar to the classical action approach we used in (2) to obtain exp(-iEt+ipx) from the classical free particle action applied to stochastic motion and so we compare the two approaches.
