Orphan date February 2009 Expert subject Physics date November 2008 In physics , EP quantummechanics is a theory of motion of point particles, partly included in the framework of quantum trajectory representation theories of quantummechanics , based upon an equivalence postulate similar in content to the equivalence principle of general relativity , rather than on the traditional Copenhagen interpretation of quantummechanics . The equivalence postulate states that all one particle systems can be connected by a non degenerate coordinate transformation, more precisely by a map over the cotangent bundle of the position manifold , so that there exists a quantum action physics action function math S q math transforms as a scalar field . Here, the action is defined as math d S q p i q dq i math is the canonical one form . This property is the heart of the EP formulation of quantummechanics. An immediate consequence of the EP is the removal of the rest frame. The theory is based on symmetry properties of Schwarzian derivative and on the quantum stationary Hamilton Jacobi equation QSHJE , which is a partial differential equation for the quantum action function math S q math , the quantum version of the Hamilton Jacobi equation s differing from the classical one for the presence of a quantum potential term math Q q frac hbar 2 4m S q ,q math with math , math denoting the Schwarzian derivative . The QSHJE can be demonstrated to imply the Schr dinger equation with square summability of the wave function, and thus quantization of energy, due to continuity conditions of the quantum potential, without any assumption on the probabilistic interpretation of the wave function.

Quantum mechanics2 The term transformation theory refers to a procedure used by Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac P. A. M. Dirac in his early formulation of Quantummechanicsquantum theory , from around 1927 ref cite journal last Dirac first P.A.M. title The Physical Interpretation of the Quantum Dynamics journal Proceedings of the Royal Society of London year 1927 month January volume 113 series A issue 765 pages 621 641 url http www.jstor.org stable 94646 accessdate 4 October 2011 ref . The term is related to the famous wave particle duality , according to which a Elementary particle particle a small physical object may display either particle or wave aspects, depending on the observational situation. Or, indeed, a variety of intermediate aspects, as the situation demands. This transformation idea also refers to the changes a physical object may undergo in the course of time, whereby it may move between positions in its Hilbert space . Remaining in full use today, it would be regarded as a topic in the mathematics of Hilbert space , although technically speaking it is somewhat more general in scope. While the terminology is reminiscent of motion in ordinary space, the Hilbert space of a quantum object is more general, and holds its entire quantum state .

In theoretical physics , supersymmetric quantummechanics is an area of research where mathematical concepts from high energy physics are applied to the field of quantummechanics . Introduction Understanding the consequences of supersymmetry has proven mathematically daunting, and it has likewise been difficult to develop theories that could account for symmetry breaking, i.e. , the lack of observed partner particles of equal mass. To make progress on these problems, physicists developed supersymmetric quantummechanics , an application of the supersymmetry SUSY superalgebra to quantummechanics as opposed to quantum field theory . It was hoped that studying SUSY s consequences in this simpler setting would lead to new understanding remarkably, the effort created new areas of research in quantummechanics itself.

Refimprove date June 2008 In quantummechanics , a sum rule is a formula for transitions between energy levels, in which the sum of the transition strengths is expressed in a simple form. Sum rules are used to describe the properties of many physical systems, including solids, atoms, atomic nuclei, and nuclear constituents such as protons and neutrons. The sum rules are derived from quite general principles, and are useful in situations where the behavior of individual energy levels is too complex to describe by a precise quantum mechanical theory. In general, sum rules are derived by using Heisenberg s quantum mechanical algebra to construct operator equalities, which are then applied to particles or the energy levels of a system. Derivation of sum rules ref Sanwu Wang, Generalization of the Thomas Reiche Kuhn and the Bethe sum rules , Physical Review A 60 , 262 1999 . http prola.aps.org abstract PRA v60 i1 p262 1 ref Assume that the Hamiltonian quantummechanics Hamiltonian math hat H math has a complete set of eigenfunctions math n rangle math with eigenvalues math epsilon n math math hat H n rangle epsilon n n rangle. math For the Hermitian operator math hat A math we define the repeated commutator math hat C k math by math begin align hat C 0 & equiv hat A hat C 1 & equiv hat H , hat A hat H hat A hat A hat H hat C k & equiv hat H , hat C k 1 , k 1,2, ldots end align math The operator math hat C 0 math is Hermitian since math hat A math is defined to be Hermitian.
