Quantum mechanics made with quaternions: speculations and perspectives
Seminars
Seminar “Modern Mathematical Physics”
Date and time: Friday, 20 October 2023, at 2:00 PM
Venue: Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, online on Zoom
Seminar topic: “Quantum mechanics made with quaternions: speculations and perspectives”
Speaker: Sergio Giardino (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre, Brazil)
Abstract:
This talk intends to present a non-technical survey of the quaternionic quantum mechanics. It will be shown some reasons to justify the interest in developing such a theory, and simple examples will be discussed in order to establish a parallel to the usual complex version of quantum mechanics.
