A Pseudo-Quantum Triad: Schrödinger's Equation, the Uncertainty Principle, and the Heisenberg Group

Maurice A. de Gosson

We show that the paradigmatic quantum triad equation–Uncertainty principle–Heisenberg emerges mathematically from classical mechanics. In the case of the Schrodinger equation, this is done by extending the metaplectic representation of linear Hamiltonian flows to arbitrary flows; for the Heisenberg group this follows from a careful analysis of the notion of phase of a Lagrangian manifold, and for the uncertainty principle it suffices to use tools from multivariate statistics together with the theory of John's minimum volume ellipsoid. Thus, the mathematical structure needed to make quantum mechanics emerge already exists in classical mechanics.

Strong Mathematical Completion of Quantum Mechanics

Zoran Majkić

SQM (Statistical QM) is a rigorously no-hidden-variables theory, based on the Schrödinger equation for a non-relativistic case where the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian operator are possible outcomes of total energies, and wavefunctions are corresponding eigenvectors representing probability density (epistemic functions) that the outcome of measurement (in quantum ensemble) will have a particular eigenvalue. So, Schrödinger’s wavefunction can not represent a real individual particle and hence shows that SQM is an incomplete theory as noted by Einstein and de Broglie. Thus, it was necessary to provide the QM theory with missed individual particles theory IQM. The individual massive non-point-like particles in IQM are represented by the 3D rest-mass energy-density topology (like the stars), generating an autogravitational force, and with hidden variables represented by the energy-density flow inside the particle’s finite volume. So, a particle in QM is represented by an ontological complex wavefunction, based on its energy density and the principle of least action.In this paper, based on Noether’s continuity equation of energy-density flow, we take into consideration the ontological version of the Schrödinger equation, where the Hamiltonian operator is substituted by a fundamental classical ontological operator derived from a particle’s hidden variables. Then, we demonstrate how, by quantization of this ontological PDE of a massive particle, we derive the statistical Schrödinger equation with a physical explanation why, in this process, the hidden variables disappear. Finally, we define the classical ensemble of repeated measurements of a real particle with identically prepared measurement systems and derive the Born rule for it.In this way, not only are IQM and SQM two complementary parts of QM, giving the same results as demonstrated previously, but we show that the statistical QM can be derived from the more sophisticated IQM classical theory of individual particles. That is, we obtained the strong completion of Quantum Mechanics.

A formulation of quantum fluid mechanics and trajectories

James P. Finley

Abstract A formalism of classical mechanics is given for time-dependent many-body states of quantum mechanics, describing both fluid flow and point mass trajectories. The familiar equations of energy, motion, and those of Lagrangian mechanics are obtained. An energy and continuity equation is demonstrated to be equivalent to the real and imaginary parts of the time dependent Schrödinger equation, respectively, where the Schrödinger equation is in density matrix form. For certain stationary states, using Lagrangian mechanics and a Hamiltonian function for quantum mechanics, equations for point-mass trajectories are obtained. For 1-body states and fluid flows, the energy equation and equations of motion are the Bernoulli and Euler equations of fluid mechanics, respectively. Generalizations of the energy and Euler equations are derived to obtain equations that are in the same form as they are in classical mechanics. The fluid flow type is compressible, inviscid, irrotational, with the nonclassical element of local variable mass. Over all space mass is conserved. The variable mass is a necessary condition for the fluid flow to agree with the zero orbital angular momentum for s states of hydrogen. Cross flows are examined, where velocity directions are changed without changing the kinetic energy. For one-electron atoms, the velocity modification gives closed orbits for trajectories, and mass conservation, vortexes, and density stratification for fluid flows. For many body states, under certain conditions, and by hypotheses, Euler equations of orbital-flows are obtained. One-body Schrödinger equations that are a generalization of the Hartree–Fock equations are also obtained. These equations contain a quantum Coulomb’s law, involving the 2-body pair function of reduced density matrix theory that replace the charge densities.
