Alternative description of magnetic monopoles in quantum mechanics
Abstract We present an alternative description of magnetic monopoles by lifting quantum mechanics from 3-dimensional space into a one with 2 complex dimensions. Magnetic monopoles are realised as a generalisation of the considered physical states. Usual algebraic relations and magnetic fields descri...

| description | Abstract We present an alternative description of magnetic monopoles by lifting quantum mechanics from 3-dimensional space into a one with 2 complex dimensions. Magnetic monopoles are realised as a generalisation of the considered physical states. Usual algebraic relations and magnetic fields describing monopoles are reproduced, with the Dirac quantisation condition satisfied naturally. |
