Abstract

Schrödinger's equation is a local differential equation and boundary conditions are required to determine the solution uniquely. Depending on the choice of boundary conditions, a given Hamiltonian may describe several different physically observable phases, each exhibiting its own characteristic global symmetry.

量子力学中的复杂相

薛定谔方程是一个局部微分方程，需要边界条件才能唯一确定解。根据边界条件的选择，给定的哈密顿可以描述多个不同的物理观测相位，每个相位都表现出其特有的全局对称性。

期刊介绍： General physics – physics of elementary particles and fields – nuclear physics – atomic, molecular and optical physics – classical areas of phenomenology – physics of gases, plasmas and electrical discharges – condensed matter – cross-disciplinary physics and related areas of science and technology. Letters submitted to EPL should contain new results, ideas, concepts, experimental methods, theoretical treatments, including those with application potential and be of broad interest and importance to one or several sections of the physics community. The presentation should satisfy the specialist, yet remain understandable to the researchers in other fields through a suitable, clearly written introduction and conclusion (if appropriate). EPL also publishes Comments on Letters previously published in the Journal.
