Particle-Wave Duality in the Macroscopic World

Arnaldo Pinto Guedes de Paiva Neto

Published Mar 31, 2020• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

This work presents an option to unite different perspectives of reality. Through literature review and considerations of visible manifestation of light and other physical effects, the author evaluates if quantum effect shows up in our daily life. Reality is an overlap of waves which our brain utilizes to produce individual perception. It is not so bizarre to consider the interference pattern of particles if we characterize the visual experience as a momentary photograph of that wave. Science is multi-disciplinary, so we attempt to reconcile diverse areas of knowledge.

Física cuántica y conciencia

We increasingly know more about quantum physics, and of how modern physics can widen our understanding of daily life, of ourselves and our relationship with the world. Quantum physics opens up to us a new perspective on the link between matter and awareness, and of how its principies ( wave-particle duality, coherence, no locality, indetermination, etc.) permit us to understand many, until now unknown, mysteries; of how the duality of mind-body is the reflection of the dual ity wave-particle; of how the awareness of the observer modifies the result of the experiment; of how the coherence or not of the therapist influences the pacient; of the action of the mind at a distance; of the freewill, etc.

The observer’s reality

Zsuzsanna Plank

This paper explores the conceptual intersections between quantum mechanics and world literature by examining how different physical interpretations manifest in literary narratives. Moving beyond science-fiction tropes, the study provides a non-specialist overview of core principles—including wave-particle duality, quantum superposition, and the structure of Schrödinger equation—and utilizes fiction as a cognitive tool to illustrate complex realities. Through a comparative analysis, Frigyes Karinthy’s Barabbás is used to contextualize foundational quantum concepts, H.G. Wells’s The Country of the Blind serves as an analogy for the Copenhagen interpretation, and Sándor Márai’s Peace in Ithaca (Béke Ithacában) visualizes the Many-Worlds interpretation. By demonstrating how fictional plots function as structural analogies for physical models, this study highlights the epistemological links between science and the humanities, offering an accessible pathway to quantum theory while challenging conventional perceptions of reality

The Duality in Matter and Light In quantum mechanics, objects can behave as particles or as waves. Studies now emphasize that such complementary features are more fundamental than has generally been appreciated

Quantum Universe and its Elusive Classicality

Jahan N. Schad

The article explores challenges presented by revelations in physics and the questions they provoke concerning reality. It sheds light on the disparity between the indefinite nature of quantum reality and our perception of classical reality. The necessity for transition from the quantum to classical reality is underscored, alongside difficulties of observer intervention and the complexities introduced by the objective collapse theory. The work introduces a pioneering approach of decoherence within the framework of universal wave function density matrices. It deploys entanglement among three primary quantum subsystems: mass particles, massless particles, and the human body system. This gives rise to a Von Neumann chain of correlated systems, wherein neglecting one system renders the other two in mixed states. Here the cohered massless system and the animate being constitute subjects of our perceptions. Within the body, the distributions of quantum particle wave packets are highly localized due to entanglement and chemical potential, satisfying the Ehrenfest condition, wherein the thermal deBroglie wavelength scale is considerably smaller than their domain in the body. Thus, each microstate of the body quantum particle ensemble can be analogously represented as a statistical mechanics particle ensemble or likened to microstates in the Debye statistical model. In the statistical mechanics perspective, life represents a macrostate characterized by thermodynamics parameters, and chemical potential. The life macrostate autonomously processes an environment corresponding to a mixed state alternative of its entangled quantum world counterpart, which appears in the stream of consciousness. The quantum universe persists, evolving deterministically, and the classical (macroscopic) universe is its realization statistical by the fundamental predicate of life discerned by the brain; our elusive world.

Human Vision

Erik Reinhard, Erum Arif Khan, Ahmet Oguz Akyuz +1 more

In the previous chapter, light was treated exclusively as a wave phenomenon. This model is suitable for explaining reflection, refraction, and polarization. However, the wave model alone is not able to explain all phenomena of light. It is therefore necessary to extend the theory to include the notion of particles. This leads to the concept of wave-particle duality: light has behaviors commensurate with both wave models as well as particle models.

The ghostly solution of the quantum paradoxes and its experimental verification

Raoul S. Nakhmanson

The wave-particle duality is a mind-body one. In the real 3d-space there exists only the particle; the wave exists in its consciousness, as well as the reflection of the whole world. If there are many particles, their distribution in accordance with the wave function looks as a real wave in real space.
