The Schrodinger equation in terms of probability densities

P Rastall

Show affiliations


The probability density of a non-relativistic particle is written as the sum of two non-negative density functions. The Schrodinger equation is equivalent to continuity equations (with source terms) for these functions. The equations are interpreted as describing two modes of the particle, which continually transform into each other.
