Symmetry and Covariance of Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
On the basis of a 5-dimensional form of space-time transformations nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is reformulated in a manifestly covariant manner. The resulting covariance resembles that of the conventional relativistic quantum mechanics.

On Relativistic Non-linear Quantum Mechanics
The possibility that quantum mechanics itself could be non-linear has run up against difficulties with relativistic covariance. Most of the schemes proposed up to now engender superluminal communication, and those that don’t, have been equivalent to linear theories. We show in a simplified model that a proposal based on the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics avoids the usual dif...
متن کاملDerivation of the Symmetry Postulates for Identical Particles from Pilot-Wave Theories
The symmetries of the wavefunction for identical particles, including anyons, are given a rigorous non-relativistic derivation within pilot-wave formulations of quantum mechanics. In particular, parastatistics are excluded. The result has a rigorous generalisation to n particles and to spinorial wavefunctions. The relation to other non-relativistic approaches is briefly discussed. 1 Quantum ind...
متن کاملExperiments in PT −symmetric quantum mechanics
Extended quantum mechanics using non-Hermitian (pseudo-Hermitian) Hamiltonians H = H is briefly reviewed. A few related mathematical experiments concerning supersymmetric regularizations, solvable simulations and large-N expansion techniques are summarized. We suggest that they could initiate a deeper study of non-localized structures (quasi-particles) and/or of their unstable and many-particle...
متن کاملThe Pauli equation in scale relativity
In standard quantum mechanics, it is not possible to directly extend the Schrödinger equation to spinors, so the Pauli equation must be derived from the Dirac equation by taking its non-relativistic limit. Hence, it predicts the existence of an intrinsic magnetic moment for the electron and gives its correct value. In the scale relativity framework, the Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon and Dirac equat...
متن کاملA Spacetime Path Formalism for Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Quantum field theory is the usual solution to the problems inherent in melding quantum mechanics with special relativity. However, there has also been significant literature on an alternate presentation of relativistic quantum mechanics in terms of an “invariant fifth parameter” in addition to the usual four coordinates of spacetime. When this parameter is treated as parameterizing spacetime pa...
