Schrodinger Equation cannot Describe Transition Processes
Abstract
In this paper we prove the following: (1) The basic error of time-dependent perturbation theory is using the sum of first finite order of perturbed solutions to substitute the exact solution in the divergent interval of the series for calculating the transition probability. In addition quantum mechanics neglects the influence of the normality condition in the continuous case. In both cases Fermi golden rule is not a mathematically reasonable deductive inference from the Schrodinger equation. (2) The transition probability per unit time deduced from the exact solution of the Schrodinger equation is zero, which cannot be used to describe the transition processes.
