In order to get the proof that our quantum system defined on page first , gives theSquare of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function as Eigenvalues, we need to intro-Duce 2 important formulae , the Riemann-Weil explicit formula and the quantizationRules by Bohr and Sommerfeld

Here, n=n(E) is an integer this formula is an approximation but works pretty well For big values of the Quantum Energies ‘n’ , the pont ‘a’ is a turning point so the Momentum of the particle is p=0 and E=V(a) , in one dimension we can obtain The potential (its inverse) from the eigenvalue staircase as follows

The constant integration is set to 0 so at x=0 the potential and the n(E) take the Value 0 , from this equation above we have proved that we can recover the inverseOf the potential (and hence the potential) from the half derivative of the EigenvalueStaircase

If we introduce the momentum and wave number in terms of the Energy

E p k in units with 2 1m

This is made in order to simplify the calculations and avoid constants

In this case the density of states is related to a sum over primes, this is not new For example for the infinite potential well the density of Energies can be evaluatedBy an exponential sum over ALL the integers.

The sum involving the Dirac delta is over the zeros of f(x) E p k The sum involving the Mangoldt function has been zeta-regularized
