作为单光子量子方程的麦克斯韦方程组

Maxwell equations as the one-photon quantum equation

A. Gersten

摘要:

麦克斯韦方程组(法拉第定律和安培-麦克斯韦定律)可以以类似于两分量中微子方程的方式表示为三分量方程。然而,在这种情况下,电磁高斯定律不能从第一原理推导出来。我们已经展示了所有的麦克斯韦方程组是如何从第一性原理中同时导出的,类似于用于导出狄拉克相对论电子方程的那些。我们还证明了狄拉克在1936年导出的无质量粒子方程也会导致同样的结果。作为电场和磁场的线性组合的复波函数是局部可测量的和很好理解的量。因此,麦克斯韦方程组应该被用作正确解释量子理论的指导。

英文摘要:

Maxwell equations (Faraday and Ampere-Maxwell laws) can be presented as a three component equation in a way similar to the two component neutrino equation. However, in this case, the electric and magnetic Gauss's laws can not be derived from first principles. We have shown how all Maxwell equations can be derived simultaneously from first principles, similar to those which have been used to derive the Dirac relativistic electron equation. We have also shown that equations for massless particles, derived by Dirac in 1936, lead to the same result. The complex wave function, being a linear combination of the electric and magnetic fields, is a locally measurable and well understood quantity. Therefore Maxwell equations should be used as a guideline for proper interpretations of quantum theories.
