The Complete Solution of the Hamilton-jacobi Equation in Quantum Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
An ordinary unambiguous integral representation for the finite propagator of a quantum system is found by starting of a privileged skeletonization of the functional action in phase space, provided by the complete solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This representation allows to regard the propagator as the sum of the contributions coming from paths where the momenta generated by the complete solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation are conserved-as it does happen on the classical trajectory-, but are not restricted to having the classical values associated with the boundary conditions for the original coordinates.

Linear Canonical Transformations and the Hamilton-Jacobi Theory in Quantum Mechanics
We investigate two methods of constructing a solution of the Schrödinger equation from the canonical transformation in classical mechanics. One method shows that we can formulate the solution of the Schrödinger equation from linear canonical transformations, the other focuses on the generating function which satisfies the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in classical mechanics. We also show that these ...
متن کاملOn the Geometry of the Hamilton-jacobi-bellman Equation
We show how a minimal deformation of the geometry of the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation provides a probabilistic theory whose cornerstone is the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. This is the basis for a novel dynamical system approach to Stochastic Analysis. 1. Stochastic deformation of classical dynamical systems. The geometrical study of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory lies at the heart of Ana...

The nontrivial transformation of the phase space path integral measure under certain discretized analogues of canonical transformations is computed. This Jacobian is used to derive a quantum analogue of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the generating function of a canonical transformation that maps any quantum system to a system with a vanishing Hamiltonian. A formal perturbative solution of th...
متن کاملMoving Picture and Hamilton-Jacobi Theory in Quantum Mechanics
We propose a new picture, which we call the moving picture, in quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger equation in this picture is derived and its solution is examined. We also investigate the close relationship between the moving picture and the Hamilton-Jacobi theory in classical mechanics. [email protected] [email protected] 1
متن کاملPhase Representation for the Finite Quantum Propagator
An ordinary unambiguous integral representation for the finite propagator of a quantum system is obtained by path integrating in phase space. The skeletonization of the canonical action by means of pieces described by a complete solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation leads to a simple composition law that reduces the multiple integration to a sole one. Thus the finite quantum propagator can b...
