Comments on an Article of Takabayasi concerning the Formulation of Quantum Mechanics with Classical Pictures
نویسنده
چکیده
Certain of Takabayasi's criticisms of a causal re·interpretation of the quantum theory are answered in detail. It is indicated .how this interpretation can be extended to the Dirac equation, and the problem of the identity of equivalent particles is discussed, for the case of particles that satisfy the Pauli principle. Possible extensions of theory are indicated. Finally" criticisms at the philosophical level are discussed, especially the question of what it means to call a theory "metaphysical" and the reasons why the concept of causality is indispensable in scientific theories.

From Classical to Quantum Mechanics:
From Classical to Quantum Mechanics: " How to translate physical ideas into mathematical language " Abstract In this paper, we investigate the connection between Classical and Quantum Mechanics by dividing Quantum Theory in two parts:-General Quantum Axiomatics (a system is described by a state in a Hilbert space, observables are self-adjoints operators and so on...)-Quantum Mechanics properly ...

The phase space which is related to the motion of massive particle on 1+3- De sitter space is a 3-dimensional complex sphere. Our main aim in this study is discribing this movement in the frame quantum mechanics. Transfering from classical mechanic to quantum mechanics is possible by means of coherent states. Thus, after determination of this state, we quantize some of the classical observables.
متن کاملFibre bundle formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics III. Pictures and integrals of motion
We propose a new systematic fibre bundle formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The new form of the theory is equivalent to the usual one but it is in harmony with the modern trends in theoretical physics and potentially admits new generalizations in different directions. In it a pure state of some quantum system is described by a state section (along paths) of a (Hilbert) fibre bund...
متن کاملRemarks on the Origins of Path Integration: Einstein and Feynman
I offer some historical comments about the origins of Feynman’s path integral approach, as an alternative approach to standard quantum mechanics. Looking at the interaction between Einstein and Feynman, which was mediated by Feynman’s thesis supervisor John Wheeler, it is argued that, contrary to what one might expect, the significance of the interaction between Einstein and Feynman pertained t...
متن کاملThe Quantum-classical Transition: the Fate of the Complex Structure
According to Dirac, fundamental laws of Classical Mechanics should be recovered by means of an ”appropriate limit” of Quantum Mechanics. In the same spirit it is reasonable to enquire about the fundamental geometric structures of Classical Mechanics which will survive the appropriate limit of Quantum Mechanics. This is the case for the symplectic structure. On the contrary, such geometric struc...
