Hello people.

Been thinking about quantum theory at the moment. However, what I need to know if the implication and use of the Hamiltonian.

If we look at classical mechanics, a state can be described as: S(q,p). Acting the Hamiltonian (that corresponds to total energy), we have.

H*S(q,p)=p^2/2m+V(q)

Now, if one takes the derivative in double respect (not second order), then we find the development of the system.

dH*S(q,p)=dH/dp-dH/dq

and this gives one the development of momentum with respect to the field and velocity.

Now, the Schrodinger equation is similar. The Hamiltonian of a wave function corresponds to the eigenvalue of the complex energy of the eigenstate that is the wave function.

Epsi(x,t)=Hpsi(x,t)

My question is, if one takes the derivative, as shown above, of this equation, does one acquire the development of the wave function?

Thanks

Sorry about that, I use a lot of my own terms.
It just means you take two separate derivatives of one equation by different parameters. Sorry for the confusion.

you would have to define what dH/dp-dH/dq is supposed to be. for startert...the units dont match.
Btw., what "field"?
>My question is, if one takes the derivative, as shown above, of this equation, does one acquire the development of the wave function?
developement with respect to what? note time certainly, caus you only consider the stationairy schrödinger equation, not the full one. and in QM q and p are not seperate from each other in the way they are in classical mechanics.

The wavefunction is a field variable rather than a coordinate. To determine its evolution does not require derivatives if you have the energy and Hamiltonian operators.

Well, the equations needed are

<span class="math">\frac{d\mathbf{H}}{d\mathbf{q}}[/spoiler]

With that, and knowing the bottom is the Schrodinger equation, then you should be able to figure out the rest.

>> No.3137978

OP here.

If you examine the Schrodinger equation, you see the Potential operator which takes into account the field, of which, the quantum particle is in. However, for the purposes of a one dimesional particle, I can exclude it. Imagine the one d particle in box.

OP here.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

So, the difference between classical and quantum (in this case) is the need to take the derivative of the hamiltonian on the state. One doesn't need to in QM.

Well since you didn't repost I'll just answer the last sentence.
>does one acquire the development of the wave function
No. <span class="math">H\psi=E\psi[/spoiler] is the time-independent Schrödinger equation. You'll get the time development by applying the time development operator, which is <span class="math">U=\exp(iHt)[/spoiler] to the state <span class="math">\psi[/spoiler].
The full Schrödinger equation is <span class="math">\mathrm i\partial_t\psi=H\psi[/spoiler]; this one still contains the time as a parameter.

>> No.3138035

>>3138013
OP
All right then, that makes sense. So, the E section is just the eigenvalue? Calculating, we are left with a complex development (as the Quantum Hamiltionian and time operator contain complex number).

>> No.3138060

>>3138035 the E section is just the eigenvalue
Yes, the time-independent Schrödinger equation is nothing but an eigenvalue equation. (Note that the Hamiltonian is self-adoint, so its eigenvalues are real; there are no complex energies coming out of that equation.)

>> No.3138078

Well, the eigenvalue is ih(bar)d/dt. This is complex, and the momentum of a quantum particle is complex.

Sorry for not using the system, it's late.

there is no continous section like H(p,q)=E, but a special set of basis vectors, namely the eigenstates of H, which correspond to a specific Energy value/frequency.

The state, let's call it S, is a composition of those eigenvectors and therefore a wild weighted ensemble of frequecies. Every eigenvector changes (in time) acording to his Energy/freqeuncy and if the eigenvectors change then S does too, because S is composed of them.

the seperate eigenvectors might be represented in a q-space or in the p-space, but they themself aren't really related to H anymore.

Nope. Eigenvalues take values in the field the vecor space is constructed upon. <span class="math">i\partial_t[/spoiler] isn't element of the field QM uses (<span class="math">\mathbb C[/spoiler]). The full Schrödinger equation isn't an eigenvalue equation.

To correct myself, the momentum operator is complex.

Energy is measurable, and one of the postulates of quantum mechanics is that every observable is described by a self-adjoint operator, which has real eigenvalues.
I'll have a look at the papers you've posted when I'm in posession of my mind again, thanks for the links.

>> No.3138229

>>3138196
FWIW my underhanding is that complex energy is a typical concept in these approaches to quantum physics problems, and the statement is that when the imaginary part is zero you have a bound (integrable) state. Otherwise your state is non-integrable, and thus unbound. But I thought this meant the state could still exist, whereas the requirement that the energy is real would suggest it cannot.
