The Realistic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

A new interpretation of quantum mechanics

The present paper is based upon equations obtained in an earlier paper by the author devoted to a new formulation of quantum electrodynamics. The equations describe the structure of the electron as well as its motion in external fields, interaction with a measuring apparatus inclusive, in a deterministic manner without any jumps. Quantum mechanics is an approximate theory because its equations follow from the above equations upon neglecting the self-field of the electron itself. Just this leads to paradoxes, seeming contradictions and jumps in quantum mechanics. The quantum mechanical wavefunc…

Is Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics consistent?

The supposed equivalence of the conventional interpretation of quantum mechanics with Bohm's interpretation is generally demonstrated only in the coordinate representation. It is shown, however, that in the momentum representation this equivalence is not valid.

Majorana Tower and Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics down to Planck Scales

A deterministic reformulation of quantum mechanics can bypass the usual philosophical interpretations of probability and stochasticity that are found in the literature. This can be obtained with the ontological formulation of quantum mechanics, obtained by writing the Hamiltonian of a quantum system in a way to render it mathematically equivalent to a deterministic system. Such deterministic models are thought to consist of elementary cells - cellular automata - inside which the quantities describing the dynamics oscillate in periodic orbits, extending and replacing the quantum-mechanical clas…

The realization of the wave function collapse in the linguistic interpretation of quantum mechanics

Recently I proposed the linguistic interpretation of quantum mechanics, which is characterized as the linguistic turn of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. This turn from physics to language does not only extend quantum theory to classical theory but also yield the quantum mechanical world view. Although the wave function collapse is prohibited in the linguistic interpretation, in this paper I show that the phenomenon like wave function collapse can be realized in the linguistic interpretation. And furthermore, I propose the justification of the von Neumann-Lüders projection p…

Constraints on Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

A succinct statement and justification of all the principles necessary to understand and evaluate interpretations of quantum mechanics is given. These principles provide strong constraints on interpretations. They imply the particle-like properties of mass, energy, momentum, spin, charge, and locality are actually properties of the wave function, and this in turn implies there is no evidence for the existence of particles. In addition, there is currently no experimental evidence for collapse, and a theory of collapse encounters significant hurdles. Further, the probability law is found to rule…

Collapse-in and Collapse-out in Partial Measurement in Quantum Mechanics and its WISE Interpretation

In this short communication, I gave a generalization of measurement postulate in quantum mechanics. It is regarding the case with partial measurement, namely, measurement on only part of a wave function. Upon a partial measurement, the wavefunction will either collapse in one of the eigenstate covered by the measured partial wavefunction; or collapses out of the measured part and shifts to the unmeasured part. An explanation in the WISE (Wavefunction Is System Entity) interpretation is given.

A New Enhanced Version of The Ensemble Interpretation

The different interpretations of quantum mechanics yield the same experimental results, which may give the impression that the question of what interpretation is the true one, is a philosophical question, not a scientific one. But in this paper, we will see that we can actually prove one interpretation, in particular, a version of the ensemble interpretation, as the natural interpretation of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, we will prove the axioms of quantum mechanics, without the need of anything beyond probability theory.

Optical interpretation of special relativity and quantum mechanics

The present work shows that through a suitable change of variables relativistic dynamics can be mapped to light propagation in a non-homogeneous medium. A particle's trajectory through the modified space-time is thus formally equivalent to a light ray and can be derived from a mechanical equivalent of Fermat's principle. The similarities between light propagation and mechanics are then extended to quantum mechanics, showing that relativistic quantum mechanics can be derived from a wave equation in modified space-time. Non-relativistic results, such as de Broglie's wavelength, Schroedinger equa…

Quantization of Reality, another Epistemological Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics?

The epistemological interpretation of quantum mechanics is still in an unacceptable status. This becomes obvious if looking on the variety of interpretations currently under discussion. However, the physical community together with philosophers seem not to be willing to really face the problem and to find an explanation for the oddness of the foundation of nature, as the mathematical treatment of quantum physics can be judged as finished and perfect for the use. The epistemology of quantum physics is often treated as a negligible side effect, not worth to put effort in, as any outcome will not…
