Abstract

Dynamic equations concerning physical expectation values have been examined in terms of the real Hilbert space approach to quantum mechanics. The considered cases involve complex wave functions, as well as quaternionic wave functions. The consistency of the formalism has been verified in terms of the continuity equation, the classical limit, and generalizations of the quantum Lorentz force, and the Virial theorem. Besides testing the consistency of the real Hilbert space approach, generalized position and angular momentum operators have been introduced, and inspire exciting directions for further research.
