Wave 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 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 کاملTwo-photon wave mechanics
The position-representation wave function for multi-photon states and its equation of motion are introduced. A major strength of the theory is that it describes the complete evolution (including polarization and entanglement) of multi-photon states propagating through inhomogeneous media. As a demonstration of the two-photon wave function’s use, we show how two photons in an orbitalangular-mome...
متن کاملTypicality in Pure Wave Mechanics
Hugh Everett III’s pure wave mechanics is a deterministic physical theory with no probabilities. He nevertheless sought to show how his theory might be understood as making the same statistical predictions as the standard collapse formulation of quantum mechanics. We will consider Everett’s argument for pure wave mechanics, how it depends on the notion of branch typicality, and the relationship...
متن کاملWave Mechanics and General Relativity: a Rapprochement
Using exact solutions, we show that it is in principle possible to regard waves and particles as representations of the same underlying geometry, thereby resolving the problem of wave-particle duality.
