Hamilton-Jacobi Approach to the Quantization of Classically Non-Separable but Integrable Two-Dimensional Systems: the Role of the Classical Caustics

Quantum Physics 2019-09-17 v1

Abstract

The quantization method based on the quantum Hamiltonian Jacobi equation, is extended to two-dimensional non-separable but integrable Hamiltonians. It is shown that each wave function for those systems corresponds to a well-defined family of classical trajectories, enveloped by a caustic. The energy eigenvalues and the values of the wave functions on the caustic are obtained by solving the 1-dim quantum Hamilton Jacobi equation of the caustic' arcs. Results are in good agreement with those obtained by usual methods.
