Can the wave function in configuration space be replaced by single-particle wave functions in physical space?
The ontology of Bohmian mechanics includes both the universal wave function (living in 3N-dimensional configuration space) and particles (living in ordinary 3-dimensional physical space). Proposals for understanding the physical significance of the wave function in this theory have included the idea of regarding it as a physically-real field in its 3N-dimensional space, as well as the idea of r...
متن کاملLocalized single-photon wave functions in free space.
We solve the joint open problems of photon localization and single-photon wave functions in the context of spontaneous emission from an excited atom in free space. Our wave functions are well-defined members of a discrete orthonormal function set. Both the degree and shape of the localization are controlled by entanglement mapping onto the atom wave function, even though the atom is remote from...
متن کاملWave Propagation in Mixture of Generalized Thermoelastic Solids Half-Space
This paper concentrates on the reflection of plane waves in the mixture of generalized thermo elastic solid half-space. There exists quasi dilatational waves i.e. qP1, qP2, qT and two rotational waves S1, S2 in a two dimensional model of the solid. The boundary conditions are solved to obtain a system of five non-homogeneous equations for amplitude ratios. These amplitude ratios are found to de...
متن کاملWave functions on phase space
Theories of Torres-Vega and Fredrick [5], Harriman [6], and of Ban [11], in which phase space points (p,q) are used as configurational variables to formulate quantum mechanics are considered from the standpoint of a class of quantization schemes associating phase space functions with operators. The connection between these schemes and the theories given in [5] to [11] is made by means of augmen...
متن کاملWave-function localization in reciprocal space
The localization of wave functions in real space is known to be extremely helpful in the investigation of the electronic properties and in the development of O(N) methods. However, maximally localized wave functions in real space do not provide a good representation of the Bloch orbitals of a metallic system, where the localization procedure is very inefficient and of little use. On the other h...
