A New Interpretation of The Stern-Gerlach Experiment by Classical Physics

Zhonglin BO

A thorough motion investigation and analysis was conducted again for the original Stern-Gerlach Experiment(SGE). The analysis is still based on the assumption that the atom passing the SG apparatus is a micromagnet due to the spin of its electron, the atoms in the source beam are with an orientation distribution of its angular momentum vectors, while the spin micromagnet is in the precession induced by an inhomogeneous magnetic field. It is the precession that keeps the silver beam with narrower orientation distribution of its angular momentum vectors after passing through the inhomogeneous magnetic field. The motion relativity was introduced in the SGE between the SG apparatus and the silver source beam, which interpreted all the detection phenomena in the multi-stage SGE. The research provided a new and convincing interpretation to the SGE with full satisfaction based on the classical physics without any mysterious or counter intuitive concepts introduced compared to quantum physics.

Nonexistence of the Classical Trajectories in the Stern-Gerlach Experiment

M. Arsenijević, M. Dugić

The Stern-Gerlach experiment is a paradigm of the quantum measurement of spin.Its physical interpretation is in intimate relation with the physical basis of the current research in the atomic (molecular) nanofabrication procedures.Nevertheless, interpretation of the experiment is an open issue yet.Here, we give the arguments for the physical nonexistence of the so-called classical trajectories of the atoms (molecules) in front of the screen.Some nanotech-related consequences are distinguished.
