Abstract

A formulation of quantum mechanics on p-adic number fields is presented. Quantum amplitudes are taken as complex functions of p-adic variables and it is shown how the Weyl approach to quantum mechanics can be generalized to the p-adic case. The p-adic analogs of simple one-dimensional systems (free particle, compact and noncompact oscillators) are defined by a ‘‘group of motion,’’ which is an Abelian subgroup of SL (2,Qp). In each case the evolution operator is a unitary representation of the appropriate group. Its spectrum is given by characters and its eigenstates are calculated.
