Derivation from Bloch Equation to von Neumann Equation to Schrödinger-Pauli Equation

  • 1. ROR icon California Institute of Technology

Abstract

The transition from classical physics to quantum mechanics has been mysterious. Here, we mathematically derive the space-independent von Neumann equation for electron spin from the classical Bloch equation. Subsequently, the space-independent Schrödinger–Pauli equation is derived in both the quantum mechanical and recently developed co-quantum dynamic frameworks.
