Geometric Formulations of Quantum Theory| Geometric Formulations of Quantum Theory |
In General > s.a. geometric quantization;
relativistic quantum mechanics; Superposition;
symplectic structure.
* Idea: Quantum states
are rays in Hilbert space, and one casts the main postulates of the theory
in terms of two geometric structures on phase space, a symplectic structure
and a Riemannian metric; Not to be confused with ideas on a geometric origin
of quantum mechanics.
* Formalisms: The Rivier-Margenau-Hill
and Born-Jordan-Shankara phase space ones are equivalent to the standard operator one.
