Abstract: According to symmetrization postulate for a system of identical particles, wave function has to be completely symmetric or completely anti-symmetric. In this paper we want to mathematically justify this postulate ignoring the spin part of wave function in three dimension. For a system of N identical particles, if the solution to the governing Schrodinger equation meets these criteria: a) the probability density remains invariant when any two particle positions are exchanged over time, b) the wave function is continuous and has a continuous gradient, and the system exhibits the following characteristics: c) the configuration space, which is 3N dimensional, is connected, and d) the potential term in the Hamiltonian is invariant under the exchange of any two particle positions, then the wave function must be either totally symmetric or totally antisymmetric over time.

We reveal the continuous phase transition in anyonic-PT symmetric systems, contrasting with the discontinuous phase transition corresponding to the discrete (anti-) PT symmetry. By exploring the mathematics and physical meaning of the negative entropy in open quantum systems, we connect the negative non-Hermitian quantum R'enyi entropy and negative quantum conditional entropy, opening up a new journey to rigorously investigate the negative entropy in open quantum systems.

Sorting Out Quantum Monte Carlo [15.0505667077874]
Molecular modeling at the quantum level requires choosing a parameterization of the wavefunction that both respects the required particle symmetries. We introduce a new antisymmetrization layer derived from sorting, the $textitsortlet$, which scales as $O(N log N)$ with regards to the number of particles. We show numerically that applying this anti-symmeterization layer on top of an attention based neural-network backbone yields a flexible wavefunction parameterization.

Double-scale theory [77.34726150561087]
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.

External and internal wave functions: de Broglie's double-solution theory? [77.34726150561087]
We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
