A Maximum Entropy Approach to Wave Mechanics

Authors: Juho Leppäkangas

We employ the maximum entropy principle, in the context of statistical inference by impersonal physical interactions, together with the experimental position-momentum uncertainty phenomenon to construct the general wave mechanical static state of a single, interacting mass particle with no internal degrees of freedom. Subsequently, using Newtonian mechanics, this physically transparent entropic approach allows us to derive the corresponding wave mechanical expectation values and the equation of motion, i.e., the Schrödinger equation.
