The quantum challenge on mesoscopic level

А. В. Никулов

Published Jul 30, 2007• 0 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

Most experts reject the quantum potential introduced by David Bohm in 1952. But it is impossible to describe some quantum mesoscopic phenomena observed in superconductor nanostructures without a quantum force.

Currents in Normal-Metal Rings Exhibit Aharonov–Bohm Effect

Bertram M. Schwarzschild

Ever since Yakir Aharonov and David Bohm pointed out, in 1959, that electrons propagating around a magnetic field through a field-free vacuum should exhibit a quite surprising interference effect, its experimental and theoretical investigation has been contributing to our understanding of the fundamental character of the quantum theory. The recent appearance of this Aharonov–Bohm effect in a rather different context may eventually have a profound effect on our view of the solid state on a “mesoscopic” scale—between the microscopic and the truly macroscopic.

Particle Physics challenges to the Bohm Picture of Relativistic Quantum Field Theory

Abel Miranda

I discuss topics in Particle Physics applying the novel ontological formulation of Relativistic Quantum Field Theory due to David Bohm. I argument that particle physicists might too benefit from this truly novel way of thinking Physics.

Consciousness, Causality, and Quantum Physics

David Pratt

Quantum theory is open to different interpretations, and this paper reviews some of the points of contention. The standard interpretation of quantum physics assumes that the quantum world is characterized by absolute indeterminism and that quantum systems exist objectively only when they are being measured or observed. David Bohm's ontological interpretation of quantum theory rejects both these assumptions. Bohm's theory that quantum events are party determined by subtler forces operating at deeper levels of reality ties in with John Eccles ' theory that our minds exist outside the material world and interact with our brains at the quantum level. Paranormal phenomena indicate that our minds can communicate with other minds and affect distant physical systems by nonordinary means. Whether such phenomena can be adequately explained in terms of nonlocality and the quantum vacuum or whether they involve superphysical forces and states of matter as yet unknown to science is still an open question, and one which merits further experimental study.

Bohm’s Quantum Potential and Quantum Force in Superconductor

А. В. Никулов, Luigi Accardi, Guillaume Adenier +5 more

The Bohm’s quantum potential, introduced in 1952, and the quantum force in superconductor, introduced in 2001, allow to describe non‐local force‐free momentum transfer observed in the Ahronov‐Bohm effects. Comparison of the Ahronov‐Bohm effects in the two‐slit interference experiment and in superconductor ring reveals fundamental difference between the Schrodinger wave function and the wave function describing macroscopic quantum phenomena. The Ginzburg‐Landau wave function describing the superconductivity phenomenon can not collapse and an additional postulate, which was implied first by L.D. Landau, must be used for the description of macroscopic quantum phenomena. It is note that quantum principles and postulates should not be universal till the quantum formalism is only phenomenological theory but no description of an unique reality.
