We provide a new methodology that is not based on the assumption that the underlying space is $L2(mathbbR)$. Our considerations show that Schr"odinger and Liouville equations are, in fact, two sides of the same coin and together they provide a unified description for quantum systems.

• Abstract: For almost 75 years, the general solution for the Schr\"odinger 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 or non-normed spaces. Our considerations show that Schr\"odinger and Liouville equations are, in fact, two sides of the same coin and together they provide a unified description for unbounded quantum systems.

  We show that the solutions of the Schr"odinger equations generated by truncated Hamiltonians do not converge to the solution of the Schr"odinger equation corresponding to the actual Hamiltonian. Importantly, numerical simulations will unavoidably reproduce the wrong dynamics in the limit, and yet there is no numerical test that can reveal this failure.

  The dynamics of a free infinite Euler-Bernoulli beam can be described by the Schr"odinger equation for a free particle and vice versa. For two corresponding solutions $u$ and $psi$ the mechanical energy density calculated for $u$ propagates in the beam exactly in the same way as the probability density calculated for $psi$.

  We investigate quantum dynamics for an ion confined within an oscillating quadrupole field. It is established that the Hamilton equations of motion, in both Schr"odinger and Heisenberg representations, are equivalent to the Hill equation. The quantum states for trapped ions are demonstrated to be Fock (number) states, while the exact solutions of the Schr"odinger equation for a trapped ion are exactly the quasienergy states.

  We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory. It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

• Free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket using operator manipulations [77.34726150561087]
  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

• Koopman-von Neumann Approach to Quantum Simulation of Nonlinear Classical Dynamics [0.0]
  Quantum computers can be used to simulate nonlinear non-Hamiltonian classical dynamics on phase space. Koopman-von Neumann formulation implies that the conservation of the probability distribution function on phase space can be recast as an equivalent Schr"odinger equation on Hilbert space. Quantum simulation of classical dynamics is exponentially more efficient than a deterministic Eulerian discretization of the Liouville equation.
