From Matrix Mechanics and Wave Mechanics to Unified Quantum Mechanics
T he story I want to tell you begins in March 1926 and ends in April 1926. Early in March two separate theories existed: matrix mechanics and wave mechanics. At the end of April these two had merged into one theory, more powerful than the two parents taken separately. Wave mechanics was based upon three fundamental hypotheses: A. Stationary states are determined by complexvalued wave functions ...
متن کاملFrom Wave Mechanics to Matrix Mechanics: The Finite Element Method
There are only a few analytic solutions available for this partial differential equation. Schrödinger found all of the most useful ones in his first paper on Quantum Mechanics: the Coulomb potential and the harmonic oscillator potential. He published the solution to the nonrelativistic Coulomb problem in his first Wave Mechanics paper but solved the relativistic problem six months earlier. He a...
متن کاملFrom Classical to Quantum Mechanics through Optics
According to Arnold Sommerfeld mechanics is “the backbone of mathematical physics”; it is a highly elaborated theory emerging from Newton’s laws which, in turn, summarize in precise form the whole body of experience. Classical mechanics describes with great precision the motion of macroscopic bodies, including astronomical bodies, except when velocities and masses involved are excessively large...
متن کاملWave Mechanics
1 The Schrödinger equation In classical mechanics the motion of a particle is usually described using the time-dependent position ix(t) as the dynamical variable. In wave mechanics the dynamical variable is a wavefunction. This wavefunction depends on position and on time and it is a complex number – it belongs to the complex numbers C (we denote the real numbers by R). When all three dimension...
متن کاملOptics, Mechanics and Hamilton-Jacobi Skeletons
In an effort to articulate models for the intuitive representation and manipulation of 2D and 3D forms, Blum (1967, 1973) invented the notion of a skeleton. His insight was to consider a disc as a basic geometric primitive and to use it to describe the reflective symmetries of an object. This representation became very popular in a variety of fields including computer vision, computer aided des...
