By considering a uniformly accelerated two-level system in an initial superposition state of a qubit, we investigate the loss of coherence induced by the acceleration. In addition, we investigate the impact of acceleration on the complementarity rela...
According to the relevant theories on duality relation, the summation of the extractable information of a quanton’s wave and particle properties, which are characterized by interference visibility V and path distinguishability D, respectively,...
Within the framework of quantum mechanics, the wave function squared describes the probability density of particles. In this article, another description of the wave function is given which embeds quantum mechanics into the traditional fields of phys...
We present an extension of the polarization coherence theorem (PCT) for the case in which two qubits play similarly important roles. The standard version of the PCT: V2+D2=P2, involves three measures, visibility V, distinguishability D, and the degre...
Within the path integral Feynman formulation of quantum mechanics, the fundamental Heisenberg Uncertainty Relationship (HUR) is analyzed in terms of the quantum fluctuation influence on coordinate and momentum estimations. While introducing specific...
The wave–particle duality is the quintessence of quantum mechanics. This duality gives rise to distinct behaviors depending on the experimental setup, with the system exhibiting either wave-like or particle-like properties, depending on whether...
Quantum mechanics is a physical theory that describes the behavior of microscopic matter. According to quantum theory, a microscopic particle may be described as either a particle or a wave, called wave–particle duality. Many students in high s...
Wave–particle duality as the defining characteristic of quantum objects is a typical example of the principle of complementarity. The wave–particle–entanglement (WPE) complementarity, initially developed for two-qubit systems, is an...
Quantum mechanics postulates wave–particle duality and assigns amplitudes of the form eiS/ℏ, yet no existing formulation explains why physical observables depend only on the phase of the action. Here we show that if the quantum of action...
In view of the remarkable progress in microrheology to monitor the random motion of Brownian particles with a size as small as a few nanometers, and given that de Broglie matter waves have been experimentally observed for large molecules of comparabl...
Probing the polarization of gravitational waves (GWs) would provide evidence of graviton, indicating the quantization of gravity. Motivated by the next generation of gravitational wave detectors, we make an attempt to study the possible helicity coup...
There is no theoretical underpinning that successfully explains how turbulent mixing is fed by wave breaking associated with nonlinear wave-wave interactions in the background oceanic internal wavefield. We address this conundrum using one-dimensiona...
Most physicists are dissatisfied with the current explanation of quantum mechanics, and want to find a method to solve this problem. However, this problem has not been solved perfectly up to now. In this paper, annihilation-generation movement (AGM)...
In 1997, the author concluded that living cells use a molecular language (cellese) that is isomorphic with the human language (humanese) based on his finding that the former shared 10 out of the 13 design features of the latter. In 2012, the author p...
The Feynman path integral formalism for non-relativistic quantum mechanics is revisited. A comparison is made with cases of light propagation (Huygens’ principle) and Brownian motion. The difficulties for a physical model applying Feynman&rsquo...
We build a time series of single photons with quantum chaos statistics, using a version of the Grangier anti-correlation experiment. The criteria utilized to determine the presence of quantum chaos is the frame of the Fano factor and the power spectr...
A consistent theory of free tachyons has shown how tachyon neutrinos can explain major cosmological phenomena, dark energy and dark matter. Now, we investigate how tachyon neutrinos might interact with other particles: the weak interactions. Using th...
We hope this work allows one to calculate large prime numbers directly, not by trial-and-error, but following a physical law. We report—contrary to conventional assumptions—that differentiation of discontinuous functions (DDF) exists in t...
On 17 October 1947, Niels Bohr was made a knight of the Order of the Elephant by the King of Denmark in view of his outstanding achievements and contributions to science. Bohr designed his own coat of arms that featured a pattern of Yin and Yang (Tai...
The wave–particle duality hypothesis for massive particles has been confirmed by an overwhelming variety of indirect experimental evidence. In addition, direct interferometric tests have been made on particles like electrons, neutrons and even...
This paper deals with J. A. Wheeler’s proposal that each piece of reality owes its existence to observation—an approach to physics, which implies that all physical entities at their bottom are informational in character. Focusing on the d...
Quantum mechanics (QM) has long challenged our understanding of time, space, and reality, with phenomena such as superposition, wave–particle duality, and quantum entanglement defying classical notions of causality and locality. Despite the pre...
We formulate a didactic proposal for introducing some fundamental concepts of quantum physics to advanced high school students, and to their teachers. The inspiration comes from some of the fundamental papers about the subject by Albert Einstein, in...
In this work, we review and extend a version of the old attempt made by Louis de Broglie for interpreting quantum mechanics in realistic terms, namely, the double solution. In this theory, quantum particles are localized waves, i.e., solitons, that a...
We discuss the possibility of a relativistic relationship between information and entropy, closely analogous to the classical Maxwell electro-magnetic wave equations. Inherent to the analysis is the description of information as residing in points of...
Recently, the properties of bouncing oil droplets, also known as “walkers,” have attracted much attention because they are thought to offer a gateway to a better understanding of quantum behavior. They indeed constitute a macroscopic real...
A little-known thermomechanical relation between entropy and action, originally discovered by Boltzmann in the classical domain, was later reconsidered by de Broglie in relation to the wave–particle duality in the free propagation of single par...
The strange behavior of subatomic particles is described by quantum theory, whose standard interpretation rejected some fundamental principles of classical physics such as causality, objectivity, locality, realism and determinism. Recently, a granula...
The double nature of material particles, i.e., their wave and corpuscular characteristics, is usually considered incomprehensible, as it cannot be represented visually. It is proposed to the student, in introductory courses, as a fact justified by qu...
We consider the nature of quantum properties in non-relativistic quantum mechanics (QM) and relativistic quantum field theories, and examine the connection between formal quantization schemes and intuitive notions of wave-particle duality. Based on t...
One of the challenging riddles that is set by light is: do photons have wavefunctions like other elementary particles do? Wave–particle duality has been a prevailing fact since the beginning of quantum theory thought; in electromagnetism, light...
Introducing some fundamental concepts of quantum physics to high school students, and to their teachers, is a timely challenge. In this paper we describe ongoing research, in which a teaching–learning sequence for teaching quantum physics, whose insp...
Due to the fundamental differences between the quantum world and the classical world, some phenomena, such as entanglement and wave–particle duality, only exist in the quantum realm. These peculiar phenomena cannot be demonstrated by classical...
In this paper, we proceed to illustrate the consequences and implications of the Dual Model of Liquids (DML) by applying it to the heat propagation. Within the frame of the DML, propagation of thermal (elastic) energy in liquids is due to wave-packet...
In this study, we investigated a new zeta formula in which the zeta function can be expressed as the sum of an infinite series of delta and cosine functions. Our findings demonstrate that this formula possesses duality characteristics and we establis...
I show here that if we construct D-branes not in the form of infinite superpositions of string modes, in order to satisfy the technical condition of coherence by means of eigenstates of annihilation operators, but instead insist on an approximate but...
Schrödinger’s operator relations combined with Einstein’s special relativistic energy-momentum equation produce the linear Klein–Gordon partial differential equation. Here, we extend both the operator relations and the energy-m...
