A Geometric Picture of the Wave Function: Fermi's Trick

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between wave functions and surfaces in the position-momentum phase plane bounded by a closed curve satisfying an exact quantum condition refining the usual EBK condition. This is achieved using an old forgotten idea of Enrico Fermi.
