摘要:
Starting from the standard current density of probability for a quantum particle in a potentialV(r), thetotalprobability current in a stationary state is considered and investigated. Its physical interpretation leads to a natural definition of the time period for such a quantum stationary state. A simple and elegant formula relates the total current to the energy level of the state. This formula is shown to be consistent with the Correspondence Principle. The results are applied to the hydrogen atom and the harmonic oscillator.
