Deuterons (not stationary): 1. To Localize Uncertainty Principle x >. To Overcome Coulomb Repulsion Ћ {me k } ½ 3. Similar Deuteron - Electron Energies Coupling Can not use Born-Oppenheimer Approximation 1

8 Paul Dirac s, The Lagrangian in Quantum Mechanics : 193 ( The paper that inspired Feynman s Path Integral Approach ~194) Now there is an alternative formulation for classical dynamics provided by the Lagrangian there are reasons for believing that the Lagrangian one is the more fundamental... Paul Dirac

9 [Paul Dirac, The Lagrangian in Quantum Mechanics : 193] the Lagrangian method allows one to collect together all the equations of motion and express them as the stationary property of a certain action function. (This action function is just the time integral of the Lagrangian). There is no corresponding action principle in terms of the coordinates and momenta of the Hamiltonian theory Paul Dirac 3

10 What Does That Mean? The Action integral accounts for particle behavior over the time, or period of an Observation The Differential Hamiltonian (Schrodinger Eq.) can not easily model correlated interference affects over periods of time and space i.e. Should not use Born-Oppenheimer with High K.E. Deuterons + Electrons 4
