Lagrangian form of Schr\"odinger equation
Lagrangian formulation of quantum mechanical Schr\"odinger equation is
developed in general and illustrated in the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian and
in the coordinate representation. The Lagrangian formulation of physically
plausible quantum system results in a well defined second order equation on a
real vector space. The Klein-Gordon equation for a real field is shown to be
the Lagrangian form of the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation.Comment: To appear in Foundation of Physic
