Derivations of Bloch (Majorana--Bloch) equation, von Neumann equation, and Schrödinger--Pauli equation

Abstract

The transition from classical physics to quantum mechanics has been mysterious. Here, we derive the space-independent von Neumann equation for electron spin mathematically from the classical Bloch or Majorana--Bloch equation, which is also derived. Subsequently, the space-independent Schrödinger--Pauli equation is derived in both the quantum mechanical and recently developed co-quantum dynamic frameworks. An additional appendix incorporates the CQD signum branching function into the nonlinear von Neumann induction equation and develops its explicit double-commutator and state-dependent effective-Hamiltonian forms.
