What is a photon?

Oleg N Krokhin

Certain properties of photons viewed as quanta (particles of an electromagnetic field) are discussed. Specifically, the nature of localization (size) of photons along and across the direction of wave propagation is examined.

The Statistics of Fermion Natural Oscillatory Systems in Nanoelectronic Technology

Alexander V. Gritsunov, И. Н. Бондаренко, А. Г. Пащенко +1 more

Statistical dependences of quantum phenomena substantial for advance in nanoelectronic technology are discussed basing on the interpretation of de Broglie matter waves as real oscillations of the generalized coordinates of some natural oscillatory systems with distributed parameters (NOSs). E.g., electrons are supposed to be excited wave packets of natural electron-positron oscillatory system (NEPOS), not hard particles; photons are wave packets of natural electromagnetic oscillatory system (NEMOS) and so on. The Wheeler-Feynman's concept of “direct interparticle action” is developed for both the quantum radiation-absorption and the Coulomb interaction. The spatio-temporal localization of the NOS wave packets and Heisenberg's “uncertainty principle” both are supposed to be results of the permanent stochastic exchange with action quanta between different NOSs (e.g., NEPOS and NEMOS) according to the general laws of the statistical physics. The basic principles of quantum statistics (probability laws for the stochastic exchange with action quanta between the wave packets of NEPOS and NEMOS in the Minkowski spacetime) are discussed. The new physical sense of de Broglie wavefunctions is illustrated with the simplest quantum systems. E.g., “free electron” is presumed as a spatially localized area (within its “interval of uncertainty”) filled with “pink noise” of NEPOS oscillations. The finite probability of harmonics with large spatial wavenumbers in spectra of NEPOS and NEMOS “wide” wavepackets makes scattering of high-energy electrons still possible creating outward appearance of “point particles” existence.

Deciphering the Enigma of Wave-Particle Duality

Mani Lal Bhaumik

A satisfactory explanation of the confounding wave-particle duality of matter is presented in terms of the reality of the wave nature of a particle. In this view, a quantum particle is an objectively real wave packet consisting of irregular disturbances of underlying quantum fields. It travels holistically as a unit and thereby acts as a particle. Only the totality of the entire wave packet at any instance embodies all the conserved quantities, for example the energy-momentum, rest mass, and charge of the particle, and as such must be acquired all at once during detection. On this basis, many of the bizarre behaviors observed in the quantum domain, such as wave function collapse, the limitation of prediction to only a probability rather than an actuality, the apparent simultaneous existence of a particle in more than one place, and the inherent uncertainty can be reasonably comprehended. The necessity of acquiring the wave function in its entirety for detection, as evinced by the appearance of collapse of the wave function, supports the paradigm of reality of the wave function described here.
