Double-wave Description of Photons

HUANG XIANG-YOU

Published Jan 1, 2000• 0 citations

Abstract

When photons are described by double-wave theory, they become quantum particles with localization. Both the wave-particle duality and the circular polarization-linear polarization duality are represented in the theory.

We explore coherence and complementarity of vectorial quantum light fields in double-slit interference, providing new insights into the role of polarization modulation and the degree of polarization in photon wave–particle duality.

Relativistic Schrödinger Equations and the Particle-Wave Duality

U. Ochs, M. Sorg

The theory of the Relativistic Schrodinger Equations can be extended to many-particle systems and yields a local-realistic explanation of the well-known paradoxes of conventional quantum mechanics (i.e. Bohm-Aharonov effect and double-slit experiment). Within the new framework, it becomes obvious that the particle-wave duality does apply in the same way to both the elementary objects (e.g. electrons) and to arbitrarily complex material systems (e.g. nucleons, heavy atoms, molecules etc.).

Complementarity of Vectorial Quantum Light

Andreas Norrman, Kasimir Blomstedt, Tero Setälä +2 more

We study partial coherence and polarization in double-pinhole photon interference and establish two general complementarity relations for genuine vectorial quantum-light fields. The framework uncovers new fundamental aspects of photon wave–particle duality.

Wave-particle duality and polarization properties of light in single-photon interference experiments

Mayukh Lahiri

We consider superposition of two states of light polarized along mutually orthogonal directions. We show that partial polarization of the superposed light may be interpreted as a manifestation of the wave-particle duality.

The Quantum Double Slit Experiment With Local Elements of Reality

Vlatko Vedral

We present a fully local treatment of the double slit experiment in the formalism of quantum field theory. Our exposition is predominantly pedagogical in nature and exemplifies the fact that there is an entirely local description of the quantum double slit interference that does not suffer from any supposed paradoxes usually related to the wave-particle duality. The wave-particle duality indeed vanishes in favour of the field picture in which particles should not be regarded as the primary elements of reality and only represent excitations of some specific field configurations. Our treatment is general and can be applied to any other phenomenon involving quantum interference of any bosonic or fermionic field, both spatially and temporally. For completeness, we present the full treatment of single qubit interference in the same spirit.

Light is not Dual Nature: It's a Particle nature which behaves like wave- A potential framework

Shreyansh Biswal

Light is actually a fundamental particle like (photon quanta of the EM field).The Wave phenomena come from the quantum field structure and the superposition of photon probability amplitudes.There is no separate dual essence - The photon formalism predicts wave behaviour.
