Despite its successes, quantum mechanics (QM) has remained mysterious to all who have encountered it. Starting with Bohr and progressing into the present, the departure from intuitive, physical reality has widened. The connection between QM and reality is more than just a “philosophical” issue. It reveals that QM is not a correct or complete theory of the physical world and that inescapable internal inconsistencies and incongruities arise when attempts are made to treat it as physical as opposed to a purely mathematical “tool.” Some of these issues are discussed in a review by F. Laloe [Am. J. Phys. 69, 655 (2001)]. In an attempt to provide some physical insight into atomic problems and starting with the same essential physics as Bohr of e moving in the Coulombic field of the proton and the wave equation as modified by Schrodinger, a classical approach is explored that yields a remarkably accurate model and provides insight into physics on the atomic level. The proverbial view, deeply seated in the wave-particle duality notion, that there is no large-scale physical counterpart to the nature of the electron may not be correct. Physical laws and intuition may be restored when dealing with the wave equation and quantummechanical problems. Specifically, a theory of classical quantum mechanics (CQM) is derived from first principles that successfully applies physical laws on all scales. Rather than using the postulated Schrodinger boundary condition “Ψ → 0 as r → ∞,” which leads to a purely mathematical model of the electron, the constraint is based on experimental observation. Using Maxwell’s equations, the classical wave equation is solved with the constraint that the bound (n = 1)state electron cannot radiate energy. By further application of Maxwell’s equations to electromagnetic and gravitational fields at particle production, the Schwarzschild metric is derived from the classical wave equation, which modifies general relativity to include conservation of spacetime in addition to momentum and matter/energy. The result gives a natural relationship among Maxwell’s equations, special relativity, and general relativity. CQM holds over a scale of spacetime of 85 orders of magnitude — it correctly predicts the nature of the universe from the scale of the quarks to that of the cosmos. A review is given by G. Landvogt [Internat. J. Hydrogen Energy 28, 1155 (2003)].
An interpretation and re-formulation of modern physics which removes the presumption of the space-time continuum, and bases physical theory on a small number of rational and empirical principles. After briefly describing the philosophical principles underlying the theory, we rigorously construct a discrete model of quantum mechanics. Kets are names, or labels which categorise states of matter but do not directly describe them. The principle of superposition is seen as a definitional truism in the categorisation of states. This resolves the measurement problem of quantum mechanics by attributing the collapse of the wave function to information. The probability interpretation has a natural meaning in which the configuration of interacting particles plays the role of a hidden variable. The model supports a form of relativistic quantum field theory which does not depend on quantisation or second quantisation from classical mechanics. Continuous laws of wave mechanics are found in a discrete metaphysic which does not involve waves. Classical law is the expected behaviour of many elementary particles. The constraints on the theory are sufficient to establish that particles are point-like entities with specific properties found in nature. Newton's first law and conservation of momentum are established from the principle of homogeneity. Maxwell's equations are derived from the simple interaction in which a Dirac particle emits or absorbs a photon. Feynman rules are calculated for the discrete theory and differ from the standard rules by the removal of the ultraviolet divergence and the use of proper loop integrals. They give finite and unambiguous results.
Assuming a background in basic classical physics, multivariable calculus, and differential equations, A Concise Introduction to Quantum Mechanics provides a self-contained presentation of the mathematics and physics of quantum mechanics. The relevant aspects of classical mechanics and electrodynamics are reviewed, and the basic concepts of wave-particle duality are developed as a logical outgrowth of experiments involving blackbody radiation, the photoelectric effect, and electron diffraction. The Copenhagen interpretation of the wave function and its relation to the particle probability density is presented in conjunction with Fourier analysis and its generalization to function spaces. These concepts are combined to analyze the system consisting of a particle confined to a box, developing the probabilistic interpretation of observations and their associated expectation values. The Schrödinger equation is then derived by using these results and demanding both Galilean invariance of the probability density and Newtonian energy-momentum relations. The general properties of the Schrödinger equation and its solutions are analyzed, and the theory of observables is developed along with the associated Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Basic applications of wave mechanics are made to free wave packet spreading, barrier penetration, the simple harmonic oscillator, the Hydrogen atom, and an electric charge in a uniform magnetic field. In addition, Dirac notation, elements of Hilbert space theory, operator techniques, and matrix algebra are presented and used to analyze coherent states, the linear potential, two state oscillations, and electron diffraction. Applications are made to photon and electron spin and the addition of angular momentum, and direct product multiparticle states are used to formulate both the Pauli exclusion principle and quantum decoherence. The book concludes with an introduction to the rotation group and the general properties of angular momentum.
Classical mechanics, which gives a fairly accurate description of large systems (e.g., solar system) as also of mechanical systems in our every day life, however, breaks down when applied to small (microscopic) systems such as molecules, atoms and nuclei. For example, (1) classical mechanics cannot even explain why the atoms are stable at all. A classical atom with electrons moving in circular or elliptic orbits around the nucleus would continuously radiate energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation because an accelerated charge does radiate energy. As a result the radius of the orbit would become smaller and smaller, resulting in instability of the atom. On the other hand, the atoms are found to be remarkably stable in practice. (2) Another fact of observation that classical mechanics fails to explain is wave particle duality in radiation as well as in material particles. It is well known that light exhibits the phenomena of interference, diffraction and polarization which can be easily understood on the basis of wave aspect of radiation. But light also exhibits the phenomena of photo-electric effect, Compton effect and Raman effect which can only be understood in terms of corpuscular or quantum aspect of radiation. The dual behavior of light, or radiation cannot be consistently understood on the basis of classical concepts alone or explained away by saying that light behaves as wave or particle depending on the kind of experiment we do with it (complementarity). Moreover, a beam of material particles, like electrons and neutrons, demonstrates wave-like properties (e.g., diffraction). A brief outline of phenomena that require quantum mechanics for their understanding follows.
The explanation of quantum mechanics has never been satisfactory. The successful application of quantum mechanics is generally attributed to the mathematical system of quantum mechanics. The application research of quantum encryption communication and quantum computers using quantum entanglement is very difficult. The binary opposition between quantum and classical has hindered human scientific thinking. The widespread quest to quantize gravity mirrors humanity's enduring drive to unify quantum and macroscopic physical frameworks. This research initiates its inquiry by integrating quantum mechanics with classical mechanics, yielding novel analytical perspectives, and introduces the Schrödinger-Tu equation—a wave function that incorporates gravitational potential energy and is capable of describing macroscopic objects. Validating the practical viability of merging quantum and classical approaches, several computational cases involving atoms and molecules yield successful outcomes. Additionally, this study derives a wavemechanical formulation of classical mechanical laws, furnishing direct empirical evidence that quantum mechanics and classical mechanics are not mutually exclusive but rather compatible and complementary. Further substantiation of their compatibility encompasses the following key points: The mass term m in the Schrödinger equation (SE) can be scaled to sufficiently large values to characterize macroscopic entities; The steady-state SE (Tψ+Vψ=Eψ) inherently integrates the wave function ψ with the classical energy conservation relation T+V=E; Potential energy functions within the SE can be derived from macroscopic force fields; Newton's second law F=ma and the SE are mutually derivable, establishing a fundamental theoretical linkage; Electron diffraction experiments concurrently demonstrate wave-particle duality, a phenomenon that bridges both mechanical frameworks. This paradigm shift—recasting the relationship between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics from one of incompatibility to compatibility—represents a pivotal theoretical advancement, with the potential to catalyze the development of a generalized wave mechanics.
This article is a continuation of Part(I) to demonstrate more aspects for a successful merge of classical mechanics to the quantum theory. The article starts first with the deduction of the general form of the complimentary energy, next a robust firm mathematical proof is given indicates that the complimentary energy has a wave nature and it is a potential energy, then the radiation condition has been determined, a vector formula expresses the corresponding force was deduced and this force was called adhesion force. A mathematical convergence process has proved the duality of the electromagnetic wave parameters and particle parameters, which results in the existence of a “wave-particle” object. While finding the relationship between the electromagnetic wave parameters and particle parameters, a mathematical relationship was found indicating that not every moving charged mass generates a magnetic field. This relationship for the mass was linked to the effective mass tensor, The geometric representation of the constant energy surface and its relationship to the energy levels of both the orbital model (Bohr model) and the cloud model for different geometric 3D shapes were investigated as a sample of the possible geometric interpretations of the energy equation, that is by employing the triangle method, it is possible to create a geometric representation of the constant energy surfaces. The relation between the energy levels, quantum numbers, and band width is represented geometrically. As a result of proving the relationship between the motion of an electromagnetic wave and the motion of a particle associated with the wave, two new, unprecedented mathematical formulas were developed. The first formula specifies a moving charged mass and its relationship to the resulting wavelength. Thus, the radius of the charged mass is obtained in terms of its wavelength and mass density. The second formula specifies the kinetic energy of a photon. The grand potentials are the potential energy of the Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, Coulomb’s Law, and Inverse Square Law of Electromagnetic Waves Intensity. From the potential energy of Newton’s law of universal gravitation, the wavelength of the gravitational wave, as well as the wavelength of quantum gravity were deduced. A mathematical relationship was then deduced that determines the lengths of the functions of conic sections, and in particular the length of perimeter of ellipses. From the potential energy of Coulomb’s law of attraction, a mathematical formulation of the energy levels in general for any atom of an element was obtained. This mathematical formulation was compared with the results obtained by Bohr and Schrödinger for the hydrogen atom. As for the inverse square law of electromagnetic radiation intensity, several innovative mathematical equations have been deduced that link different parameters together. Following the contents of this article requires to be quite familiar with the contents of the first part with the same title, as well as a complete understanding of the concepts of intermediate parameters derived and used in the various equations. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to follow the contents of this article.
