Demystifying Quantum Mechanics

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, 2022
Why does such a successful theory like Quantum Mechanics have so many mysteries? The history of this theory is replete with dubious interpretations and controversies, and yet a knowledge of its predictions, however, contributed to the amazing ...

Nambu Quantum Mechanics: A Nonlinear Generalization of Geometric Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

, 2002
We propose a generalization of the standard geometric formulation of quantum mechanics, based on the classical Nambu dynamics of free Euler tops. This extended quantum mechanics has in lieu of the standard exponential time evolution, a nonlinear temporal

Quantum “Ghosts” [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, 2016
Can you pick a complex subject in quantum mechanics and discuss it with a minimum number of equations, in a simplified form that the general scientific public could understand?

Student ability to distinguish between superposition states and mixed states in quantum mechanics

Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2015
Superposition gives rise to the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics and is therefore one of the concepts at the heart of quantum mechanics. Although we have found that many students can successfully use the idea of superposition to calculate the ...

Generalization of Classical Statistical Mechanics to Quantum Mechanics and Stable Property of Condensed Matter

, 2005
Classical statistical average values are generally generalized to average values of quantum mechanics, it is discovered that quantum mechanics is direct generalization of classical statistical mechanics, and we generally deduce both a new general ...

Recurrence in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

Int. J. Theor. Phys. 41, 45-61 (2002), 2002
We first compare the mathematical structure of quantum and classical mechanics when both are formulated in a C*-algebraic framework. By using finite von Neumann algebras, a quantum mechanical analogue of Liouville's theorem is then proposed. We proceed to study Poincare recurrence in C*-algebras by mimicking the measure theoretic setting.

Intuition in quantum mechanics: Student perspectives and expectations

Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Broadly speaking, many physicists value intuition in their work, and many instructors hope their students develop intuition (while possibly being wary of their initial, unrefined intuitions).

Probability Density in the Complex Plane

, 2010
The correspondence principle asserts that quantum mechanics resembles classical mechanics in the high-quantum-number limit. In the past few years many papers have been published on the extension of both quantum mechanics and classical mechanics into the ...
