>It is shown that Mie's or Born's equations of non linear electromagnetism are obtained from the non linear equations of the photon (functional theory), by means of linear combinations of these equations-defined by the fundamental operators of the Louis de Broglie photon. The magnetic and electric fields are defined exactly as in Louis de Broglie's theory of photon whereas the inductions are defined by other linear terms according to the second definitions of the fields by Leuis de Broglie. Only the polarizations and the expressions deriving from them are expressed by means of non linear terms. In this way a microphysical theory can be constructed, which unifies Louis de Broglie's theory of the photon and Mie's or Barn's non linear electromagnetism. (auth)

To address the theoretical gap in traditional de Broglie wave theory that fails to clarify the physical excitation mechanism of matter waves, this paper proposes the de Broglie Wave-Virtual Photon Exchange Synchronization Law and reveals the intrinsic physical origin of de Broglie matter waves from the perspective of virtual photon exchange. Based on well-recognized physical formulas including the de Broglie energy-frequency relation, the relativistic energy-momentum relation, and the core equations of quantum electrodynamics (QED), this paper carries out rigorous quantitative derivation and obtains the de Broglie Wave-Virtual Photon Exchange Synchronization Formula , which describes the relation between virtual photon exchange and the evolution of de Broglie waves. Physical analysis of the formula shows that the de Broglie matter wave is not an intrinsic and spontaneous property of particles, but a dynamic wave effect directly excited by momentum exchange between virtual photons and particles in electromagnetic interaction. The frequency, wavelength, and wave properties of the de Broglie wave are uniquely determined by the intensity and frequency of virtual photon exchange, and the two sets of physical quantities maintain strict synchronization during physical evolution. In addition, this paper clarifies the velocity-dependent modulation effect of virtual photon exchange on de Broglie waves: the modulation effect is weak at low velocities, becomes significant at high velocities, and the key wave parameters (frequency, momentum correlation) of de Broglie waves and virtual photons achieve quantitative unification as the particle velocity approaches the speed of light. This theory establishes a rigorous, quantitative, and unified relation between the virtual photon exchange mechanism and the origin of de Broglie waves, improves the physical interpretation of matter wave origin, and provides a new theoretical perspective for the study of wave-particle duality and electromagnetic interaction of microscopic particles.

A two-photon interference experiment has been carried out, based on an idea recently proposed by Croca, Garuccio, Lepore, and Moreira. The experiment is designed to test a prediction of the de Broglie guided-wave theory, according to which the waves have a physical reality in addition to yielding photon detection probabilities. The results clearly contradict the de Broglie theory, but are consistent with conventional quantum mechanics.
