Abstract

Starting from relativistic mass-less Madelung fluid, we shall develop a class of typical wave functions by imposing it to maximize Shannon entropy given its finite average quantum potential. We show that there is a class of solutions in which the wave function is spatiotemporally localized with finite spacetime support, uniformly moving hence stationary. It turns out that the quantum amplitude satisfies Klein-Gordon equation with emergent mass term proportional to the square root of average quantum potential. We show that there is physical time uncertainty which decreases as the mass increases. We also rederive the classical energy-momentum relation provided the de Broglie-Einstein relation holds. In this case, the time uncertainty is proportional to the inverse of classical energy.

Madelung fluid model for the most likely wave function of a single free particle in a two-dimensional space with a given average energy

Agus Budiyono, Ken Umeno

We consider spatially two-dimensional Madelung fluid whose irrotational motion reduces into the Schr\"odinger equation for a single free particle. In this respect, we regard the former as a direct generalization of the latter, allowing a rotational quantum flow. We then ask for the most likely wave function possessing a given average energy by maximizing the Shannon information entropy over the quantum probability density. We show that there exists a class of solutions in which the wave function is self-trapped, rotationally symmetric, spatially localized with finite support, and spinning around its center, yet stationary. The stationarity comes from the balance between the attractive quantum force field of a trapping quantum potential generated by quantum probability density and the repulsive centrifugal force of a rotating velocity vector field. We further show that there is a limiting case where the wave function is nonspinning and yet still stationary. This special state turns out to be the lowest stationary state of the ordinary Schr\"odinger equation for a particle in a cylindrical tube external classical potential.

Scale invariant quantum potential leading to globally self-trapped wave function in Madelung fluid

Agus Budiyono

We show in spatially one dimensional Madelung fluid that a simple requirement on local stability of the maximum of quantum probability density will, if combined with the global scale invariance of quantum potential, lead to a class of quantum probability densities globally being self-trapped by their own self-generated quantum potentials, possessing only a finite-size spatial support. It turns out to belong to a class of the most probable wave function given its energy through the maximum entropy principle. We proceed to show that there is a limiting case in which the quantum probability density becomes the stationary-moving soliton-like solution of the Schrödinger equation.

On de Broglie's soliton wave function of many particles with finite masses, energies and momenta

Agus Budiyono

We consider a mass-less manifestly covariant {\it linear} Schrödinger equation. First, we show that it possesses a class of non-dispersive soliton solution with finite-size spatio-temporal support inside which the quantum amplitude satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation with finite {\it emergent} mass. We then proceed to interpret the soliton wave function as describing a particle with finite mass, energy and momentum. Inside the spatio-temporal support, the wave function shows spatio-temporal internal vibration with angular frequency and wave number that are determined by the energy-momentum of the particle as firstly conjectured by de Broglie. Imposing resonance of the internal vibration inside the spatio-temporal support leads to Planck-Einstein quantization of energy-momentum. The first resonance mode is shown to recover the classical energy-momentum relation developed in special relativity. We further show that the linearity of the Schrödinger equation allows one to construct many solitons solution through superposition, each describing a particle with various masses, energies and momenta.

Stationary Solutions of the Klein-Gordon Equation in a Potential Field

Guang-Qing Bi, Yuekai Bi

We seek to introduce a mathematical method to derive the Klein-Gordon equation and a set of relevant laws strictly, which combines the relativistic wave functions in two inertial frames of reference. If we define the stationary state wave functions as special solutions like $Ψ(\mathbf{r},t)=ψ(\mathbf{r})e^{-iEt/\hbar}$, and define $m=E/c^2$, which is called the mass of the system, then the Klein-Gordon equation can clearly be expressed in a better form when compared with the non-relativistic limit, which not only allows us to transplant the solving approach of the Schrödinger equation into the relativistic wave equations, but also proves that the stationary solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in a potential field have the probability significance. For comparison, we have also discussed the Dirac equation. By introducing the concept of system mass into the Klein-Gordon equation with the scalar and vector potentials, we prove that if the Schr\"{o dinger equation in a certain potential field can be solved exactly, then under the condition that the scalar and vector potentials are equal, the Klein-Gordon equation in the same potential field can also be solved exactly by using the same method.

The Geometric Origin of the Madelung Potential

D. H. Delphenich

Madelung's hydrodynamical forms of the Schrodinger equation and the Klein-Gordon equation are presented. The physical nature of the quantum potential is explored. It is demonstrated that the geometrical origin of the quantum potential is in the scalar curvature of the of the metric that defines the kinetic energy density for an extended particle and that the quantization of circulation (Bohr-Sommerfeld) is a consequence of associating an SO(2)-reduction of the Lorentz frame bundle with wave motion. The Madelung equations are then cast in a basis-free form in terms of exterior differential forms in such a way that they represent the equations for a timelike solution to the conventional wave equations whose rest mass density satisfies a differential equation of the "Klein-Gordon minus nonlinear term" type. The role of non-zero vorticity is briefly examined.

Most probable wave function of a single free-moving particle

Agus Budiyono

We develop the most probable wave functions for a single free quantum particle given its momentum and energy by imposing its quantum probability density to maximize Shannon information entropy. We show that there is a class of solutions in which the quantum probability density is self-trapped with finite-size spatial support, uniformly moving, hence keeping its form unchanged.
