Quantum mechanics of the photon

Abstract Measurements on photons are frequently cited as confirmations of predictions of quantum mechanics (QMs), in particular in the context of Bell’s theorem. In this paper we show, however, that we cannot ever claim to have measured a property of a photon if we treat a destructive measurement of the value of a property of a photon prepared in a superposition of eigenstates in the framework of orthodox QM.

Bell’s theorem, first presented by John Bell in 1964, has been used for many years to prove that no classical theory can ever match verified quantum mechanical predictions for entangled particles. By relaxing the definition of entangled slightly, we have found a mathematical solution for two entangled photons that produces the familiar quantum mechanical counting statistics without requiring a non-local theory such as quantum mechanics. This solution neither is claimed to be unique nor represents an accurate model of photonic interactions. However, it is an existence proof that there are local models of photonic emission that can reproduce quantum statistics.

Abstract：Geometrical optics has high similarity with classical particle mechanics. After first quantization program classical particle mechanics can obtain non-relativistic quantum mechanics that suitable for micro, but quantum mechanics does not describe the photon that its static mass is zero. So whether there is a kind of "quantization " approach for geometrical optics, by which non-relativistic quantum mechanics that can be used to describe the photon can be obtained. It’s quantum mechanics of photon similar to the Schrödinger wave mechanics under the neglection of the formation and annihilation of photon. In this paper, several methods that can be used to find
