Abstract
We introduce a “prepotential” in quantum mechanics and show that the coordinate is proportional to the Legendre transform of with respect to the probability density. Inversion of the Schrödinger equation leads us to consider an – duality related to a modular symmetry. The scaling of is determined by the “beta function,” suggesting that in quantum mechanics the space coordinate is a macroscopic variable of a statistical system with playing the role of scale. The formalism is extended to higher dimensions and to the Klein-Gordon equation.
