Formulation of wave mechanics without the Planck constant ħ

Quantum mechanics can be formulated without the parameters ħ, m and e as a pure “wave theory” in terms of the frequencies alone. This is more directly related to experiments where one measures frequency differences rather than energies. Different quantum systems are then characterized by an intrinsi...

Description
Summary:Quantum mechanics can be formulated without the parameters ħ, m and e as a pure “wave theory” in terms of the frequencies alone. This is more directly related to experiments where one measures frequency differences rather than energies. Different quantum systems are then characterized by an intrinsic proper frequency ω0.
