Time in classical and quantum mechanics

In this article we study the nature of time in Mechanics. The fundamental principle, according to which a mechanical system evolves governed by a second order differential equation, implies the existence of an absolute time-duration in the sense of Newton. There is a second notion of time for conservative systems which makes the Hamiltonian action evolve at a constant rate. In Quantum Mechanics the absolute time loses its sense as it does the notion of trajectory. Then, we propose two different ways to reach the time dependent Schrödinger equation. One way consists of considering a "time constraint" on a free system. The other way is based on the point of view of Hertz, by considering the system as a projection of a free system. In the later manner, the "time" appearing in the Schrödinger equation is a linear combination of the time-duration with the "time" quotient of the action by the energy on each solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Both of them are based on a rule of quantization that we explain in Section 4.

On the quantization of mechanical systems

We present a canonical way of assigning to each magnitude of a classical mechanical system a differential operator in the configuration space, thus rigorously establishing the Correspondence Principle for such systems. Here we show how each classical state given in the whole system determine, for each classical magnitude, a wave equation, whose solutions are the possible quantum states for the given state and classical magnitude. Classical states and quantum states corresponding with the same system are reciprocally conditioned.
