... In this case, the procedure is to think in terms of wave packets centered on each k state as particles. Each particle is classified by a k label and a velocity v. Velocity is given by the group velocity of the wave packet: v = dw/dk = -1d/dk = k/m for free particles like those we are ...

... The generalized representation of observables as positive operator measures was discovered by several authors in the 1960s (e.g., [6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13]) and has by now become a standard element of quantum mechanics. It has greatly advanced the mathematical coherence and conceptual clarity of the t ...

Photon Wave Mechanics: A De Broglie-Bohm Approach
... scribed by a complex-valued state function S satisfying the Schrodinger equation. The probabilistic interpretation of it was first suggested by Born [2] and, in the light of Heisenberg uncertainty principle, is a pillar of quantum mechanics itself. All the known experiments show that the probabilist ...

Topological Coherence and Decoherence
... We are interested in topological field theories because they possess ‘hidden’ topological quantum numbers which are conserved even when the system is subject to quite severe perturbations. A model of central interest is the ‘dissipative W.A.H. model’ (named after Wannier, Az’bel, & Hofstadter’). Thi ...
