Quantization of the classical action and eigenvalue problem

Published Nov 18, 2002• 0 citations

Abstract

The eigenvalue problem in quantum mechanics is reduced to quantization of the classical action of the physical system. State function of the system, $ψ_0(ϕ)$, is written in the form of superposition of two plane waves in the phase space. Quantization condition is derived from the basic requirements of continuity and finiteness for $ψ_0(ϕ)$ in the whole region.

Classical Solution of the Wave Equation

M. N. Sergeenko

The classical limit of wave quantum mechanics is analyzed. It is shown that the basic requirements of continuity and finiteness to the solution of the form ψ(x) = Aei ϕ (x) + Be-i ϕ (x), where [Formula: see text] and W(x) is the reduced classical action of the physical system, give the asymptote of the wave equation and general quantization condition for the action W(x), which yields the exact eigenvalues of the system.

The classical limit of wave quantum mechanics is analyzed.

Quantization problem and variational principle in the phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics

Leon W. Cohen

The problem of quantization in the phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics is considered. An integral equation for the phase-space eigenfunctions is derived which is equivalent to the standard eigenvalue equation for a quantum mechanical operator. A differential form is also given. A variational principle is derived for quasiprobability distributions. It is shown that the expected value of the classical Hamiltonian calculated with a trial quasiprobability distribution will be greater than the ground state energy only if the distribution is chosen from a certain class of functions. The notion of ψ-representability is introduced to classify these functions. They represent distributions which correspond to possible quantum mechanical states. Also, a general relation is given between different distribution functions.

On a Parallelism between Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics

Yoshio Nishiyama

Striking parallelism between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics is evidenced for several bound system in a rather general form by introducing reasonably “quantum-mechanical momentum” from the Schrödinger equation. The following are proved: The “quantum-mechanical momentum” which is nearly equal to the corresponding classical momentum in “classical region” can be defined in the whole range of validity of the coordinate for the bound systems. In the same way as in classical mechanics, in quantum mechanics one can construct an associated wave accompanying a motion of a quantum particle and obeying the Schrödinger equation. The uniqueness condition on the associated wave throughout an orbit leads to the boundary condition on the wave function which is composed of the associated wave and to “quantum-mechanical quantization condition”, equivalently. In addition, all these quantum-mechanical quantities are approximately equal to the corresponding classical ones in the “classical region” of the coordinate. In particular it is demonstrated that even for a bound system of a singular (central) potential exists the ground state with the lowest energy eigenvalue. It is proved in one dimension that to any physical system obeying the Schrödinger equation always exists the corresponding classical system.

Quantization and Group Representations

Ross Cressman

A quantization of a fixed classical mechanical system is firstly an association between quantum mechanical observables (preferably self-adjoint operators on Hilbert space) and classical mechanical observables (i.e. real-valued functions on phase space). Secondly, a quantization should permit an interpretation of the correspondence principle that ‘classical mechanics is the limit of quantum mechanics as Planck's constant approaches zero'. With these two underlying precepts, Section 2 states the four basic requirements, I to IV, of a quantization along with an additional requirement V that characterizes the subclass of special quantizations.

Quantum Mechanics from the Quantization of the Action Variable

V. Hushwater

Starting from the quantization of the action variable as a basic principle, and regarding the momentum and the energy of a particle as random functions of coordinates I arrive at the quantum mechanical formalism and the rule for probabilities in quantum mechanics. The discussion involves the correspondence principle and the assumption that the space-time symmetries known in classical physics are valid in the quantum domain.
