Abstract

Quantum Mechanics was invented for stability reasons. In fact it is striking to notice the difference of regularity that needs the potential of a Schrödinger operator to insure unitary of the quantum flow (e.g. \(V \in {L}_{\mbox{ loc}}^{1}{,\ \ \lim {}_{\epsilon \rightarrow 0}\sup }_{x}\int\limits_{\vert x-y\vert \leq \epsilon }\vert x - {y\vert }^{2-N}\vert V (y)\vert dy\,=\,0\)) compared to the classical Cauchy-Lipshitz condition for vector fields.
