Wave–particle duality and superconductivity in Weyl–Dirac theories

Abstract

In the Gregorash–Papini–Wood approach to the Weyl–Dirac theory, some superconducting properties of the wave equation are analysed. In a special topology, for a constant modulus of the wavefunction, the phase gradient verifies an effect analogous to the gravitational Meissner effect (there is no momentum transfer between the wave and the particle, and the wave–particle duality is achieved by self-tunnelling). Through the gravitational Meissner effect the oscillation modes of a particle are cnoidal, and in a superconducting cylinder a quantum fluid moving along its axis is self-focusing. The matching between quantum hydrodynamics and wave mechanics is similar to the quantization of the gravitational fluxoid, and their unmatching is analogous to the gravitational analogue of the Aharonov–Bohm effect. The absence of the gravitational Meissner effect implies a permanent transfer of momentum between the wave and the particle such as the interior of the particle structured like a lattice. By defining a free energy we show that the wave–particle duality is equivalent to a normal–superconducting phase transition. In this context by generalizing the one-dimensional solution of the WD equation to the two-dimensional case, one can induce a superconducting state by in-phase oscillations of a vortex lattice.

Expanded theory of relativity: Demonstrating wave-particle duality as an integral part of relativity theory

J. Manuel Oliveira

Wave-particle duality, the revolutionary concept that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, was first proposed by Louis de Broglie. His equations connecting a particle's energy and momentum to the properties of its corresponding wave laid the groundwork for quantum mechanics. This fundamental principle explains the surprising results of the double-slit experiment and underlies many of quantum mechanics' unique behaviors. In this work, relying solely on Einstein's two postulates of special relativity, and the idea that time is single valued, we will demonstrate that a complete theory of relativity predicts a wave-like quantizable behavior for particle trajectories. We will prove that the theory of relativity predicts a first-order, spin-independent transport equation as an equation of motion for particles, in addition to the classical relativistic Hamiltonian. As key results, we will demonstrate that our theory provides an integrable solution for a free scalar particle, offering insights into the wave-particle duality observed in nature. For spinor particles, we will show that our theory generalizes Weyl theory to accommodate massive particles, while also allowing for modified Dirac-like particles.

Modelling Wave-Particle Duality of Classical Particles and Waves

Chen Yang, S. Olutunde Oyadiji

Abstract Wave-particle duality is the fundamental phenomenon of particles and fields in quantum mechanics. In the past, the trajectory-like (particle-like) behaviour and wave-like behaviour has been considered separately. In this article, a superimposed model is derived to characterise wave-particle duality of classical particles. The superimposed model reflects an invariant mathematical structure (analogous variables and differential equations) from classical mechanics, classical field theories and quantum mechanics. Its analytical solution carries trajectory-like property (phase-independent) and wave-like property (phase-dependent) of particles that is consistent with to Schrodinger’s picture. Subsequently, the presented model is applied to model duality of classical waves in electromagnetism, acoustics and elasticity. The analysis implies the existence of quantum effects of classical waves at macroscopic scale. It predicts quantum picture on energy and momentum exchange between classical particles and waves. As seen in the model, wave-particle duality reflects inherent and indispensable characteristics of classical objects.
