Abstract:
The relation that exists in quantum mechanics among action variables, angle variables and the phases of quantum states is clarified, by referring to the system of a generalized oscillator. As a by-product, quantum-mechanical meaning of the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation and related matters is clarified, where a new picture of quantum mechanics is introduced, to be called the Hamilton-Jacobi picture.References(6)
