Quaternionic elastic scattering

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the elastic scattering of quantum particles based on a real Hilbert space approach to quaternionic quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm H$QM) and derive expression for the wave function, the phase shifts, as well as the optical theorem for the case of a hard sphere scattering potential. The strong agreement between these new quaternionic results and the corresponding results in complex quantum mechanics reinforce the validity of the $\mathbbm H$QM generalization of ordinary complex quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm C$QM).
