Statistical Considerations of the Schrodinger Equation Based on Local Energy Conservation

Statistical Considerations of the Schrodinger Equation Based on Local Energy Conservation

Abstract

We argue that the ideas of quantum mechanics can be obtained statistically, if one suggests that the motion of a particle (or the combination of the particle moving to the right and left with momentum p) is governed by a function g(x,p) which seems to imply that the particle is not simply translating. If there were simple translation, there would be no need for x dependence. If one considers an average of the kinetic energy of many g(x,p) and sets this equal to an average kinetic energy at x with proper space dependent normalization, then this should be part of an energy conservation equation at each point x i.e. KEave(x)+V(x)=E. The normalization factor of g(x,p) in such an average, namely W(x)= sum over p (g(x,p)ap) with ap as weights can then be shown to be a candidate for the following relationship: density(x)=W(x)W(x). Furthermore, it can be argued that g(x,p) is periodic in x and by using the form d\dx d(x) * (probability momentum), one may argue that g(x,p) takes on the form of sin(px) or cos(px). In such a case, g(p,x) terms in W(x) coincide with a Fourier series of W(x). It is suggested that g(p,x) may have physical meaning if one considers models of a moving particle which involve zitterbewegung. In such a case, there is not simply translation. It has also been pointed out, that there are issues with a straightforward interpretation of the probability continuity equation for quantum mechanics as W(x) includes interference.
