On the conection between the Liouville equation and the Schrodinger equation

The Schrodinger equation based on the de Broglie wave is the most fundamental equation of the quantum mechanics. There can be no doubt about it's prediction validity. However, the probabilistic interpretation on the quantum mechanics has insoluble semantic interpretations like reduction of wave packet on observations of physical values. Especially, it is not clear that the wave function which is described by complex function, is whether formality or reality to express the sta...

This work is based on the idea that the classical counterpart of quantum theory (QT) is not mechanics but probabilistic mechanics. We therefore choose the theory of statistical ensembles in phase space as starting point for a reconstruction of QT. These ensembles are described by a probability density $\rho (q, p, t)$ and an action variable $S (q, p, t)$. Since the state variables of QT only depend on $q$ and $t$, our first step is to carry out a projection $p \Rightarrow M (...

We develop a dynamical theory, based on a system of ordinary differential equations describing the motion of particles which reproduces the results of quantum mechanics. The system generalizes the Hamilton equations of classical mechanics to the quantum domain, and turns into them in the classical limit $\hbar\rightarrow 0$. The particles' motions are completely determined by the initial conditions. In this theory, the wave function $\psi$ of quantum mechanics is equal to the...

In this paper we put forward some simple rules which can be used to pass from the quantum Moyal evolution operator to the classical Liouville one without taking the Planck constant to zero. These rules involve the averaging over some auxiliary variables.

We extend the Wigner-Weyl-Moyal phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics to general curved configuration spaces. The underlying phase space is based on the chosen coordinates of the manifold and their canonically conjugate momenta. The resulting Wigner function displays the axioms of a quasiprobability distribution, and any Weyl-ordered operator gets associated with the corresponding phase-space function, even in the absence of continuous symmetries. The corresponding qua...

We present a phase space formulation of quantum mechanics in the Schr\"odinger representation and derive the associated Weyl pseudo-differential calculus. We prove that the resulting theory is unitarily equivalent to the standard "configuration space" formulation and show that it allows for a uniform treatment of both pure and mixed quantum states. In the second part of the paper we determine the unitary transformation (and its infinitesimal generator) that maps the phase spa...

In a previous paper, the author asked the question "Does a Special Relativistic Liouville Equation Exist?'. In this paper, I give an affirmative answer. In 8N phase space, a Hamiltonian is derived by breaking the reparametrization symmetry of the single, Lorentz invariant, mathematical time introduced, which defines the evolution of all phase space variables.

We show that QM can be represented as a natural projection of a classical statistical model on the phase space $\Omega= H\times H,$ where $H$ is the real Hilbert space. Statistical states are given by Gaussian measures on $\Omega$ having zero mean value and dispersion of very small magnitude $\alpha$ (which is considered as a small parameter of the model). Such statistical states can be interpreted as fluctuations of the background field, cf. with SED and Nelson's mechanics. ...

An alternative view of semiclassical mechanics is derived in the form of an approximation to Schr\"odinger's equation, giving a linear first-order partial differential equation on phase space. The equation advectively transports wavefunctions along classical trajectories, so that as a trajectory is followed the amplitude remains constant and the phase changes by the action divided by $\hbar$. The wavefunction's squared-magnitude is a plausible phase space density and obeys Li...

The quantum evolution of the Wigner function for Gaussian wave packets generated by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is investigated. In the semiclassical limit $\hbar\to 0$ this yields the non-Hermitian analog of the Ehrenfest theorem for the dynamics of observable expectation values. The lack of Hermiticity reveals the importance of the complex structure on the classical phase space: The resulting equations of motion are coupled to an equation of motion for the phase space metri...
