A Cellular Automaton Molecular Model based on Wave Equation: An Alternative to Cellular Automata QM

Victor Christianto, Florentín Smarandache

Published Jul 1, 2017• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

In a recent paper, it has been argued that QM can arise from classical cellular automata. This is a fresh approach started by some authors including Prof. Gerard ‘t Hooft. Nonetheless, in a previous paper, we have reviewed some inadequacies of Schrodinger equation, hence the entire wave mechanics. According to Shpenkov, the classical wave equation is able to derive a periodic table of elements -which is close to Mendeleyev’s periodic table-, and also other phenomena related to the structure of molecules. It is suggested that Shpenkov’s interpretation of classical wave equation can complement Schrodinger equation. Therefore in this paper we will discuss how we can arrive to a cellular automaton molecular model starting from classical wave equation, as an alternative to cellular automata based QM.

A Review of Schrödinger Equation & Classical Wave Equation

Victor Christianto

In this paper, I will review some inadequacies of Schrödinger equation. Then I will discuss George Shpenkov’s interpretation of classical wave equation and two other authors’ wave equations. According to Shpenkov, the classical wave equation is able to derive a periodic table of elements -which is close to Mendeleyev’s periodic table-, and also other phenomena related to the structure of molecules. It is argued here that one may arrive at new energy methods using this classical wave equation as starting point. It is suggested that Shpenkov’s interpretation of classical wave equation can complement Schrödinger equation.

The Spherical Solution of Schrödinger Equation Does not Agree with Any Experiment: Toward New Energy Methods Based on George Shpenkov’s Wave Equation

Victor Christianto

In light of the fact that our world requires new energy supply in order to replace fossil based energy, then it seems that new theory is badly needed – because it is often true that new energy requires new theory. And new theory can only come from new insights. In this paper, I will review the inadequacy of spherical solution of Schrodinger equation to say anything about the structure of molecules. It is a common fact, that the spherical solution of Schrodinger equation is hardly discussed properly in many quantum mechanics textbooks, with excuse that it is too complicated. Then I will discuss George Shpenkov’s wave equation which is able to derive the periodic table of elements, and other phenomena related to the structure of molecules, which is an elusive dream from the viewpoint of quantum mechanics. It is argued here that one can expect to arrive at new energy methods using this wave equation as starting point, for instance by virtue of resonance vibration theory. Nonetheless, it is not our view here that the Shpenkov’s wave equation can substitute wave mechanics completely, instead we prefer to say that it can be a complementary approach of wave mechanics. By referring to Schrodinger’s dream in his 1926 paper to find connection between his wave mechanics and vibration frequency, I think that Shpenkov’s wave equation can fulfill that dream.

Quantum features of natural cellular automata

Hans-Thomas Elze

Cellular automata can show well known features of quantum mechanics, such as a linear rule according to which they evolve and which resembles a discretized version of the Schrödinger equation. This includes corresponding conservation laws. The class of "natural" Hamiltonian cellular automata is based exclusively on integer-valued variables and couplings and their dynamics derives from an Action Principle. They can be mapped reversibly to continuum models by applying Sampling Theory. Thus, "deformed" quantum mechanical models with a finite discreteness scale l are obtained, which for l → 0 reproduce familiar continuum results. We have recently demonstrated that such automata can form "multipartite" systems consistently with the tensor product structures of nonrelativistic many-body quantum mechanics, while interacting and maintaining the linear evolution. Consequently, the Superposition Principle fully applies for such primitive discrete deterministic automata and their composites and can produce the essential quantum effects of interference and entanglement.

Multipartite cellular automata and the superposition principle

Hans-Thomas Elze

Cellular automata (CA) can show well known features of quantum mechanics (QM), such as a linear updating rule that resembles a discretized form of the Schrödinger equation together with its conservation laws. Surprisingly, a whole class of “natural” Hamiltonian CA, which are based entirely on integer-valued variables and couplings and derived from an action principle, can be mapped reversibly to continuum models with the help of sampling theory. This results in “deformed” quantum mechanical models with a finite discreteness scale l, which for [Formula: see text] reproduce the familiar continuum limit. Presently, we show, in particular, how such automata can form “multipartite” systems consistently with the tensor product structures of non-relativistic many-body QM, while maintaining the linearity of dynamics. Consequently, the superposition principle is fully operative already on the level of these primordial discrete deterministic automata, including the essential quantum effects of interference and entanglement.

Quantum models as classical cellular automata

Hans-Thomas Elze

A synopsis is offered of the properties of discrete and integer-valued, hence "natural", cellular automata (CA). A particular class comprises the "Hamiltonian CA" with discrete updating rules that resemble Hamilton's equations. The resulting dynamics is linear like the unitary evolution described by the Schrödinger equation. Employing Shannon's Sampling Theorem, we construct an invertible map between such CA and continuous quantum mechanical models which incorporate a fundamental discreteness scale l . Consequently, there is a one-to-one correspondence of quantum mechanical and CA conservation laws. We discuss the important issue of linearity, recalling that nonlinearities imply nonlocal effects in the continuous quantum mechanical description of intrinsically local discrete CA - requiring locality entails linearity. The admissible CA observables and the existence of solutions of the l -dependent dispersion relation for stationary states are mentioned, besides the construction of multipartite CA obeying the Superposition Principle. We point out problems when trying to match the deterministic CA here to those envisioned in 't Hooft's CA Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
