Description
The function exp(iwt) describes an oscillating motion. Energy of the oscillator is proportional to the square of w. exp(iwt) is the solution of a differential equation. We have replaced this differential equation by the corresponding finite-time difference equation with d as the smallest span of time. We have, then, symmetrized the equation so that it remains invariant under the change d going to -d. This symmetric equation has solutions in pairs. The angular speed w is modified to w' or w". w' contains a part with an integer. w" contains a part with a half-integer. This corresponds to quantum mechanical oscillator energy levels. F= a.exp(iwt) describes oscillation between -a and +a. If we make w=0, F describes free oscillation between -a and +a. Reciprocal symmetric oscillator, thus, unifies quantum and classical harmonic oscillators on one hand, and a harmonic oscillator and a free particle in a potential well on the other hand. No quantum mechanical postulates are involved.
