Quantum mechanics: and if Einstein and De Broglie were right?

Rei Beaumanner, Carl-Gustav Hedenby

Here will be presented a formula that explains the de Broglie wave length as being generated by the Compton wave length in relative motion. Moreover, the Planck quantum energy emergent in this context fits right into Einstein's E = mc² when it is expressed like a function of momentum mv. The equation is the Beaumanner relative quantum formula and the associated energy vmc I call the relativistic energy of mechanical momentum.

At the 1927 Solvay conference, Albert Einstein presented a thought experiment intended to demonstrate the incompleteness of the quantum mechanical description of reality. In the following years, the experiment was modified by Einstein, de Broglie, and several other commentators into a simple scenario involving the splitting in half of the wave function of a single particle in a box. This paper collects together several formulations of this thought experiment from the literature, analyzes and assesses it from the point of view of the Einstein–Bohr debates, the EPR dilemma, and Bell’s theorem, and argues for “Einstein’s Boxes” taking its rightful place alongside similar but historically better known quantum mechanical thought experiments such as EPR and Schrödinger’s Cat.

The Einstein’s Boxes paradox was developed by Einstein, de Broglie, Heisenberg, and others to demonstrate the incompleteness of the Copenhagen Formulation of quantum mechanics. I explain the paradox using the Copenhagen Formulation. I then show how a Time-Symmetric Formulation of quantum mechanics resolves the paradox in the way envisioned by Einstein and de Broglie. Finally, I describe an experiment that can distinguish between these two formulations.
