Title:Dynamical Exclusion of Probability and Energy Conservation
View PDFAbstract:The interrelationship between energy and probability conservation is explored from the point of view of statistical physics and non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The simultaneous validity of the law of conservation of energy and the continuity equation (probability conservation) breaks for an interacting dynamical system. A separate and independent description of a physical system can be obtained by requiring that the law of conservation of probability is at the heart of the derivation of the ''equations of motion''. In effect, The Schrodinger equation can be viewed as an appropriate factorization of the continuity equation instead of an energy conservation relation per se.
