A Proof for Poisson Bracket in Non-commutative Algebra of Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

The widely accepted approach to the foundation of quantum mechanics is that the Poisson bracket, governing the non-commutative algebra of operators, is taken as a postulate with no underlying physics. In this manuscript, it is shown that this postulation is in fact unnecessary and may be replaced by a few deeper concepts, which ultimately lead to the derivation of Poisson bracket. One would only need to use Fourier transform pairs and Kramers-Kronig identities in the complex domain. We present a definition of Hermitian time-operator and discuss some of its basic properties.
