Title
On the exact solution for the Schrödinger equation
Speaker
Dr. Yair Mulian (Academia Sinica)Abstract
For almost 75 years, the general solution for the Schrödinger equation was assumed to be generated by an exponential or a time-ordered exponential known as the Dyson series. We study the unitarity of a solution in the case of a singular Hamiltonian and provide a new methodology that is not based on the assumption that the underlying space is $L^{2}(mathbb{R})$. Then, an alternative operator for generating the time evolution that is manifestly unitary is suggested, regardless of the choice of Hamiltonian. The new construction involves an additional positive operator that normalizes the wave function locally and allows us to preserve unitarity, even when dealing with infinite dimensional spaces. Our considerations show that Schrödinger and Liouville equations are, in fact, two sides of the same coin and together they provide a unified description for unbounded quantum systems.
