Wave-Particle Duality: Particle Always Remains Particle and Its Wave Function Always Remains Wave

Sarma N. Gullapalli

On the question of wave-particle duality, from the historic Bohr-Einstein debates a century ago, to this day, the view expressed in Niels Bohr’s Complementarity Principle has become well established, confirmed by numerous experiments: If the observation is for wave nature, then the particle changes to wave, and if the observation is for particle nature, then the particle remains particle. However, recently this view has been challenged. With proof based on the definition of wave function, it has been shown that particle always remains particle and its wave function always remains wave, no mysterious change from particle to wave and vice versa.

Redeeming Albert Einstein in Debates with Niels Bohr Regarding Wave-Particle Duality and Restoring Objectivity to Science

Sarma N. Gullapalli, Independent Researcher, Warwick, Rhode Island, USA

To explain Young’s Double Slit Experiment Niels Bohr postulated his Complementarity Principle according to which if the observation is for interference pattern the particle will change to wave. Albert Einstein had objected: how can inanimate particle know what the observation is about? Experiments have confirmed Bohr’s Complementarity Principle. Upon investigation, the author was able to explain all experiments without invoking Complementarity Principle, using only coherence and alignment considerations. This research recently culminated in revolutionary finding by the author, that particle always remains particle and its wave function always remains wave, no mysterious change from particle to wave or vice-versa and published a paper in the Journal of High Energy Physics and Cosmology (JHEPGC), 9, 596 – 601, widely acclaimed by readership and reviewers. It restores objectivity to science and opens new vistas of research developing new concepts, advancing science.

Revisiting Bohr's principle of complementarity with a quantum device

Jian‐Shun Tang, Yu-Long Li, Chuan‐Feng Li +1 more

Bohr's principle of complementarity (BPC) is the cornerstone of quantum mechanics. According to this principle, the total wavelike and particlelike information of a particle is limited by the Englert-Greenberger (EG) duality relation. Here, by introducing a quantum detecting device into the experiment, we find that the limit of the EG duality relation is exceeded because of the interference between the wave and particle properties of the photon. A generalized EG duality relation is further developed. Our work provides a generalization of BPC and gives new insights into quantum mechanics.
