Experimental Evidence on the Real Physical Existence of the Subquantum Waves

J. R. Croca, Augusto Garuccio, Mário Gatta +3 more

The question related with the ontic nature of the quantum waves, whether they are mere probability waves or, on the contrary, do have a real physical existence is now settled by recent experiments based on ghost imaging technique. Indeed, these experiments have shown the real physical existence of subquantum waves, named also de Broglie waves, guiding waves, pilot waves, theta waves or subquantum waves. In order to better clarify the situation some minor modifications on the performed experiments are proposed.The question related with the ontic nature of the quantum waves, whether they are mere probability waves or, on the contrary, do have a real physical existence is now settled by recent experiments based on ghost imaging technique.

Garuccio-Rapisarda-Vigier Experiment Revisited

J. R. Croca, Augusto Garuccio, Milena D’Angelo

We propose a setup for the experimental implementation of the conceptual experiment proposed, in 1982, by Garuccio, Rapisarda and Vigier. In particular, we show that orthodox quantum mechanics leads to a different prediction with respect to the nonlinear causal approach. Hence, this experiment shall contribute to clarify the ontic nature of quantum waves

On the wave-particle duality within the framework of modeling single-photon interference

Alexandr Petrovich Davydov, Tatiana Pavlovna Zlydneva

Abstract The general results of constructing and modeling the photon wave function in the coordinate representation in the framework of quantum mechanics are presented in order to explain single-photon interference phenomena, in particular Young’s experiment. The relevance of this function is emphasized in connection with modern single-photon and two-photon experiments. The necessity of replacing the explanation of obtaining coherent light sources using the concept of a train of supposedly real electromagnetic waves emitted by one atom, by the conditional emission by this atom of the photon wave function in the coordinate representation, which then experiences diffraction and interference, is substantiated. A single-photon wave function is simulated based on the consideration of the electric dipole radiation of an atom in classical electrodynamics, and a conclusion is drawn on the possibility to explain Young’s experiment. It is argued that although the photon wave function (as well as of particles having mass) is not a physical object, the application of this function significantly weakens the problem of wave-particle duality of light. It is assumed the “nature” of this function reflects the properties of a physical vacuum, but new experiments are required to clarify it.Abstract The general results of constructing and modeling the photon wave function in the coordinate representation in the framework of quantum mechanics are presented in order to explain single-photon interference phenomena, in particular Young’s experiment.
