The unified quantum wave equation

Abstract

The quaterionic formulation of quantum mechanics yields the unified quantum wave equation (UQWEs). From these equations, Dirac, Klein - Gordon and Schrodinger equations can be derived. While the UQWEs represent a matter wave (de Broglie), the Maxwell equations represent a transverse wave (field). Owing to UQWEs, the spin-0 and spin-1/2 particle are described by a wavepacket consisting of waves traveling to the left and to the right with speed of light. UQWEs show that spin-0 and spin-1/2 are in continuous states of creation and annihilation that are compatible with Heisenberg uncertainty relation. The creation - annihilation process is a result of the time translation property of the particle wavefunction. These are E=Eim0c2E'=E-im_0c^2 and E=E±m0c2E'=E\pm m_0c^2, for Klein-Gordon' and Dirac' particles, respectively. It is found that m0c2\frac{\hbar}{m_0c^2} is the period of the creation -annihilation process.
