Classical Mechanics
here xi = (xi1, . . . , xid) are coordinates of the i-th particle and ∂xi is the gradient (∂xi1 , . . . , ∂xid); d is the space dimension (i.e. d = 3, usually). The potential energy function will be supposed “smooth”, i.e. analytic except, possibly, when two positions coincide. The latter exception is necessary to include the important cases of gravitational attraction or, when dealing with ele...
متن کاملFrom 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 کاملThe equivalence principle in classical mechanics and quantum mechanics ∗
We discuss our understanding of the equivalence principle in both classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. We show that not only does the equivalence principle hold for the trajectories of quantum particles in a background gravitational field, but also that it is only because of this that the equivalence principle is even to be expected to hold for classical particles at all. While the equiva...
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 کاملPolyakov's String Classical Mechanics
This paper is almost an exercise in which the Hamiltonian scheme is developed for Polyakov's classical string, by following the usual framework suggested by Dirac and Bergman for the reduction of gauge theories to their essential physical degrees of freedom. The results collected here will be useful in some forthcoming papers, where strings will be studied in the unusual context of Wigner-covar...
