近期工作表明，薛定谔方程可以仅基于经典最小作用量精确求解（rspa.2025.0413）。该计算首先求解作用量的哈密顿-雅可比方程，然后计算沿所有平稳作用量路径传播的经典密度，最后仅基于这些经典量构造精确的核与波函数。该方法要求沿每条平稳作用量路径传播的经典平方根密度是调和的（一个充分条件是传播作用量的拉普拉斯算子纯随时间变化），正如双缝、量子隧穿、爱因斯坦-波多尔斯基-罗森实验等基本例子，以及本文讨论的希格斯玻色子的相对论传播子所呈现的情况。该密度与使用马德隆密度（即现有整体量子波函数的范数）有根本不同。对于任意非线性势，通过使用调和坐标变换以及相关的传播经典密度和量子波的时间缩放，该条件仍可在不失一般性的情况下得到验证，本文对此进行了详细阐述。时间缩放后的薛定谔方程的量子波等价于原始薛定谔方程的量子波，扩展了杜鲁和克莱纳特的标准结果。因此，原则上它可以替代量子微扰论的近似。对于1至3维系统，这种调和坐标变换将非线性势转化为线性振子的二次势，而线性振子的精确解析作用量和波解已知。这使得在尚无精确解的基本情形（如四次势或非线性摆）中，超越氢原子波函数的量子波构造变得直接。
英文摘要
Recent work shows that the Schroedinger equation can be solved exactly based only on classical least action rspa.2025.0413. The computation is based on first solving a Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the action, computing the classical propagated density along all stationary action paths, and finally constructing the exact kernel and wave function based on these classical quantities alone. The method requires that the propagated classical square root density along each stationary action path is harmonic (where a sufficient condition is that the Laplacian of the propagated action is purely time-varying), as is the case for basic examples such as the double-slit, quantum tunneling, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment, or also as discussed here the relativistic propagator of a Higgs boson. This density is fundamentally different from using the Madelung density, which is the norm of an existing overall quantum wave. In the case of arbitrary nonlinear potentials, this condition can still be verified without loss of generality, by using a harmonic coordinate transformation and an associated time scaling for the propagated classical density and quantum wave, as this paper details. The resulting quantum wave of the time-scaled Schroedinger equation is equivalent to the quantum wave of the original Schroedinger equation, extending a standard result of Duru and Kleinert. Hence, in principle it can replace the approximations of quantum perturbation theory. For 1 to 3-dimensional systems, this harmonic coordinate change transforms a nonlinear potential into the quadratic potential of a linear oscillator, for which an exact analytic action and wave solution are already known. This makes the construction of the quantum wave beyond the hydrogen wave straightforward for basic cases where no exact solution has been derived, such as the quartic potential or the nonlinear pendulum.
