Newtonian and Schrodinger dynamics can be formulated in a physically meaningful way within the same Hilbert space framework. This fact was recently used to discover an unexpected relation between classical and quantum motions that goes…

We show that the quantum wavefunction, interpreted as the probability density of finding a single non-localized quantum particle, which evolves according to classical laws of motion, is an intermediate description of a material quantum…

We give a simple demonstration that the Schr\"odinger equation may be recast as a self-contained second-order Newtonian law for a congruence of spacetime trajectories. This provides a pictorial representation of the quantum state as the…

We present a new hydrodynamic analogy of nonrelativistic quantum particles in potential wells. Similarities between a real variant of the Schr\"odinger equation and gravity-capillary shallow water waves are reported and analyzed. We show…

A recent notion in theoretical physics is that not all quantum theories arise from quantising a classical system. Also, a given quantum model may possess more than just one classical limit. These facts find strong evidence in string duality…

Quantum mechanics in its presently known formulation requires an external classical time for its description. A classical spacetime manifold and a classical spacetime metric are produced by classical matter fields. In the absence of such…

A classical representation for quantum eigenstates of a particle bound in $\lambda z^{2m}$ $(\lambda >0, m=1,2,...)$ potentials is developed. It is represented by ensembles of classical trajectories with energy distributions that can take…

We show that the dynamics of a quantum system can be represented by the dynamics of an underlying classical systems obeying the Hamilton equations of motion. This is achieved by transforming the phase space of dimension $2n$ into a Hilbert…

For a quantum observable $A_\hbar$ depending on a parameter $\hbar$ we define the notion ``$A_\hbar$ converges in the classical limit''. The limit is a function on phase space. Convergence is in norm in the sense that $A_\hbar\to0$ is…

This paper presents a new approach to phase space trajectories in quantum mechanics. A Moyal description of quantum theory is used, where observables and states are treated as classical functions on a classical phase space. A quantum…

A recent article by Lohmiller \& Slotine (Proc.\ R.\ Soc.\ A \textbf{482}: 20250413) claims that the Schr\"odinger equation can be solved exactly using only classical least action and classical fluid density, asserting that this formulation…

A formulation of quantum mechanics is introduced based on a $2D$-dimensional phase-space wave function $\text{\reflectbox{\text{p}}}\mkern-3mu\text{p}\left(q,p\right)$ which might be computed from the position-space wave function…

Quantum mechanics is widely regarded as a complete theory, yet we argue it is a tractable projection of a deeper, computationally-inaccessible classical variational structure. By analyzing the coupled partial differential equations of the…

I propose a new and direct connection between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics where I derive the quantum mechanical propagator from a variational principle. This variational principle is Hamilton's modified principle generalized…

We show that QM can be represented as a natural projection of a classical statistical model on the phase space $\Omega= H\times H,$ where $H$ is the real Hilbert space. Statistical states are given by Gaussian measures on $\Omega$ having…

The physical model of a nonrelativistic quantized Schrodinger's electron (SE) is offered. The behaviour of the SE well spread elementary electric charge had been understood by means of two independent and different in a frequency and size…

Quantum mechanics predicts correlation between spacelike separated events which is widely argued to violate the principle of Local Causality. By contrast, here we shall show that the Schr\"odinger equation with Born's statistical…

The formalism of classical and quantum mechanics on phase space leads to symplectic and Heisenberg group representations, respectively. The Wigner functions give a representation of the quantum system using classical variables. The…

With an apparent delay of over one century with respect to the development of standard Analytical Mechanics, but still in fully classical terms, the behavior of classical monochromatic wave beams in stationary media is shown to be ruled by…

We investigate the behaviour of a particle moving on the quotient manifold $M=C^2/Z_$ which is derived from the EH metric as the two centers approach each other. In the classical region of the configuration space we specify the physically…
