Undergrad Why the velocity operator commutes with position (Dirac equation)
In classic mechanic,if we regard ##v_i## as a field ##v_i(t,x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)##, the poisson braket ##(v_i,x_i)=\frac{\partial{v_i}}{\partial{p_i}}=\frac{\partial{v_i}}{\partial{x_i}}\frac{\partial{x_i}}{\partial{p_i}}+\frac{\partial{v_i}}{\partial{t}}\frac{\partial{t}}{\partial{p_i}}=0##, so...- zhouhao

Undergrad Why the velocity operator commutes with position (Dirac equation)
##\hat{v}_i=c\hat{\alpha}_i## commute with ##\hat{x}_i##, ##E^2={p_1}^2c^2+{p_2}^2c^2+{p_3}^2c^2+m^2c^4## But in classical picture,the poisson braket...- zhouhao

Undergrad Why not calculate the "trajectory" of a wave function
Thanks.I think Bohmian mechanics is helpful to me.Could help me with another question below? ##\psi## is a solution of Schrödinger eqution. When ##\hbar \rightarrow 0##,##{\psi}(x,t) \rightarrow {\rho}(x,t)e^{\frac{i}{\hbar}S(x,t)}## Define...- zhouhao

Undergrad Why not calculate the "trajectory" of a wave function
Thanks. How about this way. Classic Mechanic : 1,wave function (##\hbar \rightarrow 0##) is ##\psi \rightarrow \exp{\frac{i}{\hbar}S(x,t)}##; 2,we get wave function from Hamilton-Jaccobi equation with boundary condition...- zhouhao

Undergrad Why not calculate the "trajectory" of a wave function
The classic limit of Schrödinger equation is hamilton-jacobi eqution. Wave function's classic limit is ##\exp{\frac{i}{\hbar}S(x,t)}##,##S(x,t)## is the action satisfying hamilton-jaccobi eqution. However, a particle travels along single trajectory of ##S(x,t)##, Why not make some constrains...- zhouhao

Undergrad Why not describing the radiatation of atom spectrum by TDSE
Thanks! I means with the perturbation added, the atom in ##{\phi}_n## with time evolving to be fould in ##\Psi=\sum\limits_{m=0}^{\infty}a_m(t){\phi}_m\exp{(-\frac{i}{\hbar}{E_m}t)}##,this is a mixture of many eigenstates.However,as the book said,the atom would be found at another eigenstate in...- zhouhao

Undergrad Why not describing the radiatation of atom spectrum by TDSE
Thanks.I check my book and I am mistaken.But I am still confused. As the book said, ##{\phi}_n## is the eigenstate of time-independent Schrödinger equation with eigenvalue ##E_n##. Adding the time-dependent perturbation ##{\hat{H}}^{'}(t)##, wave function becomes...- zhouhao

Undergrad Why not describing the radiatation of atom spectrum by TDSE
The radiation of an atom was interpreted by time-independent Schrödinger equation:electron was transformed from high energy level state to lower and emit a photon.Could we treat this process through a wavefunction ##{\psi}(t)##? Before emiting,the system's wavefunction is ##{\psi}(0)## and after...- zhouhao

Why wave function is probability of particle existence
Thanks very much.I still want to get deeper.I think two ways to understand the double-slit electron diffraction only to get both stuck. 1,Solving Schordinger equation to get the wavefunction:boundary condition is necessary.But I have no ideas to set a boundary condition. 2,Regard slit as point...- zhouhao

Why wave function is probability of particle existence
Thanks very much!It seems that there is more precise interpretation for electron diffraction.Could you tell me? Nice.I try to figure out the ##A(x,t)##,failed with there consideration,because whether or not measure the limited angle of electrons confuse me: 1,if an electron's path could not be...- zhouhao

Why wave function is probability of particle existence

Why wave function is probability of particle existence
Homework Statement I post here to check if I am in the right way to understand this point in the book. The wave function of free particle is ##Ae^{\frac{i}{\hbar}(px-Et)}##.This could be regarded as ##{\phi}(x,t)=Ae^{\frac{i}{\hbar}S(x,t)}##. ##S(x,t)## is the free particle's least action...- zhouhao
