量子健美操:高斯、路径积分与引导数值逼近

Quantum Calisthenics: Gaussians, The Path Integral and Guided Numerical Approximations

Marvin Weinstein

摘要:

任何思考过这一问题的人都很清楚,在很大程度上,牛顿物理学的基本概念是相当直观的,但量子力学不是。我这次演讲的目的是向你们介绍一种新的,更直观的方法来理解量子力学是如何工作的。我将这种方法称为指导性数值逼近方案,它基于对路径积分告诉我们的有关希尔伯特空间状态的新认识。我从简单的精确可解模型开始,并展示如何处理无法用解析方法处理的问题,这包括处理非谐势中高斯波包的演化以及隧道问题(即,瞬子效应)

英文摘要:

It is apparent to anyone who thinks about it that, to a large degree, the basic concepts of Newtonian physics are quite intuitive, but quantum mechanics is not. My purpose in this talk is to introduce you to a new, much more intuitive way to understand how quantum mechanics works. I refer to this method as a guided numerical approximation scheme and it is based upon a new look at what the path integral tells us about states in Hilbert space. I begin with simple exactly solvable models and show how to handle problems which cannot be dealt with analytically, this includes the treatment of the evolution of a Gaussian wave-packet in an anharmonic potential as well tunneling problems (i.e., instanton effects)
