Moving Picture and Hamilton-Jacobi Theory in Quantum Mechanics

Published Nov 5, 2003• 0 citations

Abstract

We propose a new picture, which we call the {\it moving picture}, in quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger equation in this picture is derived and its solution is examined. We also investigate the close relationship between the moving picture and the Hamilton-Jacobi theory in classical mechanics.

Canonical transformations and the Hamilton-Jacobi theory in quantum mechanics

J.-H. Kim, H.-W. Lee

Canonical transformations using the idea of quantum generating functions are applied to construct a quantum Hamilton-Jacobi theory, based on the analogy with the classical case. An operator and a c-number form of the time-dependent quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation are derived and used to find dynamical solutions of quantum problems. The phase-space picture of quantum mechanics is discussed in connection with the present theory.PACS Nos.: 03.65-w, 03.65Ca, 03.65Ge

Linear Canonical Transformations and the Hamilton-Jacobi Theory in Quantum Mechanics

Akihiro Ogura, Motoo Sekiguchi

We investigate two methods of constructing a solution of the Schrödinger equation from the canonical transformation in classical mechanics. One method shows that we can formulate the solution of the Schrödinger equation from linear canonical transformations, the other focuses on the generating function which satisfies the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in classical mechanics. We also show that these two methods lead to the same solution of the Schrödinger equation.

Coherent states, Schrödinger equation, and the Hamilton–Jacobi equation

Rachad Mounir Shoucri

The self-adjoint form of the classical equation of motion of the harmonic oscillator is used to derive a Hamiltonian-like equation and the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics. A phase variable ϕ(t) instead of time t is used as an independent variable. It is shown that the Hamilton–Jacobi solution in this case is identical with the solution obtained from the Schrödinger equation without the need to introduce the idea of hidden variables or quantum potential.

Quantum Theory In The Classical Limit

Jack Cohn

The problem of the reduction of quantum mechanics to classical mechanics is considered. It is demonstrated that the customary derivation of classical mechanics from the Schrödinger equation via the Hamilton-Jacobi action equation is incomplete. An improved derivation, involving the expectation value of the action, rather than the action itself, is given. Under this formulation the Hamilton-Jacobi description of classical mechanics is obtained from quantum mechanics, for suitable wave packets as h goes to zero.

Quantum version of Hamilton-Jacobi theory for Time-dependent Systems

Seiji Sakocia, Minoru Omote, S. Kamefuchi

By constructing a quantum conserved quantity even for a system with timedependent Hamiltonian, we develop the quantum version of Hamilton-Jacobi theory, that is applicable for non-conserved systems as well as conserved ones. A novel viewpoint, Hamilton-Jacobi picture, of the quantum mechanics will be introduced.

Classical and Quantum Behavior of Genaralized Oscillators - action variable, angle variable and quantum phase -

M. Omote, Shotaro Sakoda, S. Kamefuchi

The relation that exists in quantum mechanics among action variables, angle variables and the phases of quantum states is clarified, by referring to the system of a generalized oscillator. As a by-product, quantum-mechanical meaning of the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation and related matters is clarified, where a new picture of quantum mechanics is introduced, to be called the Hamilton-Jacobi picture.
