Discrete symmetries in classical and quantum oscillators
Abstract
We consider the nature of the wave function using the example of a harmonic oscillator. We show that the eigenfunctions of the quantum Hamiltonian in the complex Bargmann-Fock-Segal representation with are the coordinates of a classical oscillator with energy , . They are defined on conical spaces with cone angles , which are embedded as subspaces in the phase space of the classical oscillator. Here is the finite cyclic group of rotations of the space by an angle . The superposition of the eigenfunctions arises only with incomplete knowledge of the initial data for solving the Schr\"odinger equation, when the conditions of invariance with respect to the discrete groups are not imposed and the general solution takes into account all possible initial data parametrized by the numbers .
