Translations between Quaternion and Complex Quantum Mechanics

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-03-08 v1

Abstract

While in general there is no one-to-one correspondence between complex and quaternion quantum mechanics (QQM), there exists at least one version of QQM in which a {\em partial} set of {\em translations} may be made. We define these translations and use the rules to obtain rapid quaternion counterparts (some of which are new) of standard quantum mechanical results.
