The Many-Worlds Interpretation versus the Copenhagen Interpretation: A Case Discussion with the Hydrogen Atom

Rabah Ladj, Nour Bensiradj, Salah Eddine Aid

Abstract: The main objective of this work is to compare the interpretations of the hydrogen atom spectrum according to two famous schools in quantum mechanics: Copenhagen and many-worlds. The Schrodinger equation is solved using the many-worlds interpretation, and the results are then compared to those obtained using the Copenhagen interpretation. While the energy spectra are similar in both cases, the interpretations of these results differ. In the many-worlds interpretation, the eigenvectors are entangled across multiple worlds, whereas, in the Copenhagen interpretation, they are superimposed. The hydrogen atom, being a system of only one electron and without electron-electron interaction, serves as a clear and accessible example for comparing these interpretations. In this case, the wave function depends on independent coordinates and is written as a tensor product of independent functions, even before solving the Schrödinger equation. In more complex systems where there are electron-electron, electron-nucleus, nucleus-nucleus, and other interactions, the wave function should be written as a tensor product of entangled states after solving the Schrodinger equation. The aim of this study is to demonstrate to physics and chemistry teachers and students that there are different ways to view the quantum world. The many-worlds interpretation is simply another way of interpreting the solutions of the Schrodinger equation, rather than a new mathematical approach. The present work emphasizes the importance of understanding different interpretations of quantum mechanics and their implications for understanding the physical world. Keywords: Hydrogen atom spectrum, Schrodinger equation, Copenhagen school, Many-worlds interpretation.

The Power of The Light over modern Quantum Physics

Wim Vegt

The famous 1927 Solvay Conference was considered a turning point in the world of Physics. The scientific realists like Albert Einstein had lost and the instrumentalists like Niels Bohr had won the fundamental conflict. Since then Physics has followed the path of the instrumentalists in which Quantum Physics has been determined by the concept of Elementary Particles and Probability Waves. Until May 2013, when for the first time a photo had been made of the Probability Waves Inside the Hydrogen Atom . It should be impossible to make a photo of a non-existing complex probability wave with mass zero But the fact could not be denied anymore that scientists had succeeded to make the “complex” and the “non-existing” quantum mechanical “Probability Wave” visible. New discoveries like “Photonic Molecules” and “Photon-Photon Interaction” require a new interpretation of the Copenhagen Interpretation . Since the Copenhagen Interpretation there is still no clarity about the physical interpretation of the Quantum Mechanical “Probability Wave Function”This Manuscript describes a third unknown interpretation of the Quantum Mechanical “Probability Wave Function”. A fundamental physical interpretation that will change the generally accepted Copenhagen Interpretation. This Manuscript will answer the fundamental question: Does an alternative theory exist in which the existence of this particular photo, of the Quantum Mechanical Probability Wave within the Hydrogen Atom, could be explained. And that the famous photo of the Hydrogen Atom can be explained in a logical and a simple way. To find the answer, we have to go back in time. Back 300 years in time to the moment when Isaac Newton discovered the beauty and one of the many secrets of the light. The moment when science walked away from light. And we return to the fundamental question: “Is it possible to build Matter out of Light (confined electromagnetic waves)?” To answer this question if it is possible to build Matter out of Light, we first have to answer the question how we have come to this world of Probability Waves and Elementary Particles and Quantum Physics.
