Wave function expansion explains the kinetic energy paradox
Fourier integral approach provides new insights into quantum energy concepts
Abstract
A concept of Kinetic Energy in Quantum Mechanics is analyzed. Kinetic Energy is not zero in many cases where there are no motion and flux. This paradox can be understood, using expansion of the wave function in Fourier integral, that is on the basis of virtual plane waves.
