An approach to construct wave packets with complete classical-quantum correspondence in non-relativistic quantum mechanics

We introduce a method to construct wave packets with complete classical and quantum correspondence in one-dimensional non-relativistic quantum mechanics. First, we consider two similar oscillators with equal total energy. In classical domain, we can easily solve this model and obtain the trajectories in the space of variables. This picture in the quantum level is equivalent with a hyperbolic partial differential equation which gives us a freedom for choosing the initial wave function and its initial slope. By taking advantage of this freedom, we propose a method to choose an appropriate initial condition which is independent from the form of the oscillators. We then construct the wave packets for some cases and show that these wave packets closely follow the whole classical trajectories and peak on them. Moreover, we use de-Broglie Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics to quantify this correspondence and show that the resulting Bohmian trajectories are also in a complete agreement with their classical counterparts.Comment: 15 pages, 13 figures, to appear in International Journal of Theoretical Physic

Quantization And Classical Limit Of A Linearly Damped Particle, A Van Der Pol System And A Duffing System

Using a quantization process, independent of Lagrangians and Hamiltonians, we quantize a linearly damped particle, a van der Pol System and a Duffing System. In order to provide logical consistence to this quantization scheine, which we call dynamic quantization, we also evaluate the classical limit h 0 about the quantum equations of motion. © 2000 VSP.93275286Arnold, V.I., (1973) Ordinary Differential Equations, , Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, MassachusettsKolmogorov, A.N., Abrahan, R., Marsden, J.E., (1978) Foundations of Mechanics, , Benjamin, Menlo ParkFronteau, J., (1979) Hadronic J., 2, p. 727Lichtenberg, A.J., Lieberman, M.A., (1983) Regular and Stochastic Motion, , Springer-Verlag, New YorkOtt, E., (1993) Chaos in Dynamical Systems, , Cambridge University Press, CambrigdeNicolis, G., (1995) Introduction to Nonlinear Science, , Cambridge University Press, CambrigdeTarasov, V.E., (1997) Theor.
