Abstract

Based on the concept of ensemble, it is proved in the manuscript that the probability amplitude function can also been used to describe the classical statistical system. The motion equations of probability amplitude functions of classical statistical system are obtained, which are similar to that in quantum mechanics. It is also proved in the meantime that microsystems that obey quantum mechanics can also be described in the forms of classical statistical mechanics and deterministic classical mechanics. The quantum revised formula of classical interaction force and the revised Liouville's equations are also obtained. In this way, the transformation of two descriptive forms between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics is achieved. A new and rational interpretation about quantum mechanics, including the meaning of wave function, the potential barrier penetration of microparticles, the Uncertainty relation, the wave-particle duality, the essence of spin and the Bell's inequality and so on, is provided in the paper. Based on the transformation, two fundamental hypotheses are put forward as the basic postulates of classical statistical physics. The equal probability hypothesis in the equilibrium states is given up. The united description of nonequilibrium state mechanics and equilibrium state statistical mechanics is reached, and the so-called reversibility paradox can also be eliminated.
