• Abstract: In this study, potential scatterings are formulated in experimental setups with Gaussian wave packets in accordance with a probability principle and associativity of products. A breaking of an associativity is observed in scalar products with stationary scattering states in a majority of short-range potentials. Due to the breaking, states of different energies are not orthogonal and their superposition is not suitable for representing a normalized isolate state. Free wave packets in perturbative expansions in coupling strengths keep the associativity, and give a rigorous amplitude that preserves manifest unitarity and other principles of the quantum mechanics. An absolute probability is finite and comprises cross sections and new terms of unique properties. The results also demonstrate an interference term displaying unique behavior at an extreme forward direction.

• Back to Bohr: Quantum Jumps in Schroedinger's Wave Mechanics [0.0]
  We discuss a scattering array of harmonic oscillators which can detect particles penetrating the array through interaction with a short-range potential. Evolution of the wave function of scattered particles, combined with Heisenberg's assertion that quantum jumps persist in wave mechanics, indicates that the wave function will collapse around single sites if the scattering is inelastic. The actual underlying inelastic scattering event corresponds to a quantum jump, whereas the continuously evolving wave function only describes the evolution of probability amplitudes for scattering off different sites.

In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.
