New exact quasi-classical asymptotic of solutions to the -dimensional Schrodinger equation beyond WKB-theory and beyond Maslov's canonical operator theory is presented. Quantum jump nature is considered successfully. We pointed out that an explanation of quantum jumps can be found to result from Colombeau solutions of the Schrödinger equation alone without additional postulates. Such jumps, does not depend on any single measurement of particle position at instant and completely obtained only from Schrodinger equation, without reference to any phenomenological master-equation of Lindblad form. 1.Introduction A number of experiments on trapped single ions or atoms have been performed in recent years [1]-[5]. Monitoring the intensity of scattered laser light off of such systems has shown abrupt changes that have been cited as evidence of "quantum jumps" between states of the scattered ion or atom. The existence of such jumps was required by Bohr in his theory of the atom. Bohr's quantum jumps between atomic states [6] were the first form of quantum dynamics to be postulated. He assumed that an atom remained in an atomic eigenstate until it made an instantaneous jump to another state with the emission or absorption of a photon. Since these jumps do not appear to occur in solutions of the 1 To whom any correspondence should be addressed. 4th International Conference on Mathematical Modeling in Physical Sciences (IC-MSquare2015) IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Conference Series 633 (2015) 012036 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/633/1/012036 Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence.

Stochastic quantum jump equations [7] were introduced as a tool for simulating the dynamics of a dissipative system with a large Hilbert space and their links with quantum measurement. The question arises whether an explanation of these jumps can be found to result from a Colombeau solution of the Schrödinger equation [8] alone without additional postulates. We found exact quasi-classical asymptotic of the quantum averages with position variable with well localized initial data. Note that an axiom of quantum measurement is: if the particle is in some state that the probability of getting a result at instant with an accuracy of will be given by (1.1) We rewrite now Eq. (1.1) in the form (1.2) Definition 1.1. [8].

Assume that: (1) (x) L ( ),(2) is continuous and Then corresponding solution of the Schrödinger equation (2.1) exists and can be represented via formula (2.2) where we have set and where Let be a trajectory; that is, a function from with and set Trotter and Kato well known classical results give a precise meaning to the Feynman integral when the potential V is sufficiently regular [9]. However if potential V is a non-regular this is well known problem to represent solution of the Schrödinger equation (2.1)-(2.2) via formula (2.3), see [9]. We avoided this difficulty using contemporary Colombeau framework. Using replacement we obtain from potential V regularized potential such that and (i) , (ii) 4th International Conference on Mathematical Modeling in Physical Sciences (IC-MSquare2015) IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Conference Series 633 (2015) 012036 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/633/1/012036 2 Here Colombeau algebra of Colombeau generalized functions [8]. Finally we obtain regularized Schrödinger equation of Colombeau form [8] (2.3) Using the inequality Theorem 2.1 asserts again that corresponding solution of the Schrödinger equation exists and can be represented via formula [8]: , (2.4) where we have set and where we have set 3.Exact quasi-classical asymptotic beyond Maslov canonical operator Theorem 3.1.

Limiting quantum trajectory with a jump. Figure 2. Limiting quantum trajectory with a jump. 5.Conclusion We pointed out that there exist limiting quantum trajectories given via Eq. (1.3) with a jump. Such jumps does not depend on any single measurement of particle position at instant and obtained without any reference to a phenomenological master-equation of Lindblad form. An axiom of quantum mechanics is that we cannot predict the result of any single measurement of an observable of a quantum mechanical system in a superposition of eigenstates. However we can predict the result of any single measurement of particle position at instant with a probability if the condition is valid: where given via Eq. (1.2).
