Abstract

Based on a deformation of the quantum mechanical phase space we study q-deformations of quantum mechanics for qk=1 and 0<q<1. After defining a q-analog of the scalar product on the function space we discuss and compare the time evolution of operators in both cases. A formulation of quantum mechanics for qk=1 is given and the dynamics for the free Hamiltonian is studied. For 0<q<1 we develop a deformation of quantum mechanics and the cases of the free Hamiltonian and the one with a x2-potential are solved in terms of basic hypergeometric functions.
