Abstract

A comprehensive review of the attempts to rephrase molecular quantum mechanics in terms of the particle density operator and the current density or phase density operator is given. All pertinent investigations which have come to our attention suffer from severe mathematical inconsistencies and are not adequate to the few‐body problem of quantum chemistry. The origin of the failure of these attempts is investigated and it is shown that a realization of a local quantum field theory of molecular matter in terms of observables would presuppose the solution of many highly nontrivial mathematical problems.
