Abstract
We show howp-adic analysis can be used in some cases to treat divergent series in quantum mechanics. We consider examples in which the usual theory of the Schrodinger equation would give rise to an infinite expectation value of the energy operator. By usingp-adic analysis, we are able to get a convergent expansion and obtain a finite rational value for the energy. We present also the main ideas to interpret a quantum mechanical state by means ofp-adic statistics.
