An approach to construct wave packets with complete classical-quantum correspondence in non-relativistic quantum mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a method to construct wave packets with complete classical and quantum correspondence in one-dimensional non-relativistic quantum mechanics. First, we consider two similar oscillators with equal total energy. In classical domain, we can easily solve this model and obtain the trajectories in the space of variables. This picture in the quantum level is equivalent with a hyperbolic partial differential equation which gives us a freedom for choosing the initial wave function and its initial slope. By taking advantage of this freedom, we propose a method to choose an appropriate initial condition which is independent from the form of the oscillators. We then construct the wave packets for some cases and show that these wave packets closely follow the whole classical trajectories and peak on them. Moreover, we use de-Broglie Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics to quantify this correspondence and show that the resulting Bohmian trajectories are also in a complete agreement with their classical counterparts.

On relativistic quantum mechanics in the rest- frame instant form of dynamics
A review is given of a new relativistic classical mechanics for N-particle systems compatible with relativistic bound states. It is formulated in global non-inertial frames in Minkowski space-time by means of parametrized Minkowski theories and then restricted to the intrinsic inertial rest frame of the isolated system. There is a complete control on the relativistic collective variables (Newto...

We investigate (n + 1)–dimensional cosmology with varying speed of light. After solving corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt equation, we obtain exact solutions in both classical and quantum levels for (c –Λ)–dominated Universe. We then construct the “canonical” wave packets which exhibit a good classical and quantum correspondence. We show that arbitrary but appropriate initial conditions lead to the ...

We propose a new initial condition for the homogeneous and isotropic quantum cosmology, where the source of the gravitational field is a conformally coupled scalar field, and the maximally symmetric hypersurfaces have positive curvature.

متن کاملMinimal Position-Velocity Uncertainty Wave Packets in Relativistic and Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics
We consider wave packets of free particles with a general energymomentum dispersion relation E(p). The spreading of the wave packet is determined by the velocity v = ∂pE. The position-velocity uncertainty relation ∆x∆v ≥ 1 2 |〈∂2 pE〉| is saturated by minimal uncertainty wave packets Φ(p) = A exp(−αE(p) + βp). In addition to the standard minimal Gaussian wave packets corresponding to the non-rel...

Time evolution of wave packets built from the eigenstates of the Dirac equation for a hydrogenic system is considered. We investigate the space and spin motion of wave packets which, in the non-relativistic limit, are stationary states with a probability density distributed uniformly along the classical, elliptical orbit (elliptic WP). We show that the precession of such a WP, due to relativist...
