Alternative Approach to Copenhagen Interpretation

Abstract

Abstract In this study, a double-slit experiment was simulated with only classical-mechanics assumptions to demonstrate that the phenomena associated with this experiment can be explained by classical mechanics. The experiment was conducted with the particle nature intact, by performing observations that did not affect the particle motion while recording the particle position at each simulation step. Only one experimental particle was assumed per session to prevent external effects. Nevertheless, wave patterns, which have previously been thought to occur only quantum-mechanically, were observed on the inspection plate. This study focused on proving that classical mechanics can explain the double-slit wave pattern.

Quantum behavior in the Double Slit Experiment and the limitations of the equipment used.

Ernest Heinz

Abstract: Many problems exist in the Double Slit Experiment when you consider that the elements in the test are moving as waves. Outside of the pattern resembling peeks and troughs that overlap each other; there is no real scientific explanation on how this is taking place. In a more accurate and classical way, can we explain how the dark and light areas of the interference pattern are being made? Why is an Interference pattern being made when particles are being sent through the exercise one at a time? And how is it that through observation the Interference pattern collapses in on itself. Waves add more questions than they do answers, a very typical outcome of an incorrect solution. Maybe the unanswered questions left behind by the wave theory is a confirmation of its inaccuracy and not the mystique of its results. Rather than double down on the wave theory with time traveling particles, elements of duality, and the Copenhagen Interpretation; l reconsidered that elements tested in the double slit experiment behave as particles. But this time, I weighed the thought that these bits of matter are much smaller than previously thought. This new logic allowed particles with straight trajectories to interact with the edge of materials used in the double slit wall in a very detailed way. This created a storm of new ways to look at what is really taking place in the test; revealing the competence of the detectors utilized and the capacity of the Nonlinear Optical Crystal. Everything solved from just one idea, that quantum move as particles but on a much smaller scale. This is the enigma of the Double Slit Experiment.

On the Single Electron Double Slit Experiment – A Randomly-Jumping Electron Approach

Lizhi Xin, Kevin Xin

Abstract One of the greatest mysteries that has puzzled and seemingly hoodwinked our very understanding of nature is the single electron double slit experiment – one that Feynman termed the central mystery of quantum mechanics. At the heart of this mystery is how can an electron that is a physical particle exhibit a wave-like property? We’ve proposed a non-counterintuitive way to explain this phenomenon called the randomly-jumping electron hypothesis, in which the electron randomly “jumps” in discrete succession to specific points only and not others which is what causes the electron to indeed be a classical particle only but is able to produce a wave-like interference pattern. To provide supporting evidence for our hypothesis, we’ve developed a computer program to simulate the single electron double slit experiment by treating the electron as a classical particle while still exhibiting wave-like fringes in agreement with real-world observed data of the single electron double slit experiment performed. Our interpretation does not set out to “solve” the mystery of why an electron can produce a wave-like interference pattern once and for all, however our hypothesis is a monism ontological interpretation that does address some of the crucial debates that have remained unsolved for 100 years since the formulation of quantum mechanics.

DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT AND WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY

V. Abbasov

Abstract The double-slit experiment is a classic experiment that presents the clearest manifestation of wave-particle duality, one of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. The double-slit experiment still remains the phenomenon that demonstrates wave-particle duality at the most fundamental level. This phenomenon quantitatively and conceptually demonstrates that microscopic objects can behave like both waves and particles at the same time. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the physical nature of dualism, the mechanism of formation of the interference pattern, and the impact of the act of observation on the dynamics of quantum systems. The need for a new perspective on this topic is due to the fact that the current uncertainty in the interpretation of quantum reality has not yet been completely eliminated, and the boundaries between classical and quantum behavior in microscopic objects are still being explored. The results presented here restructure the deep mechanisms of the interference picture, more clearly frame the relationship between observation and wavefunction collapse, and provide a quantum. Since the article attempts to provide a complete answer to the mechanism of the formation of wave-particle duality, extensive space is given to sections such as historical development, theoretical models, modern research, etc. New approaches to this phenomenon have been developed using modern research and string theory. As a result, a new mathematical expression has been proposed that explains the reasons for the initial emergence of wave-particle duality, and is also important for string theory. The article explains the measurement problem with a more effective physical structure and ontological model.

Experiments showing new mystery of double slit experiments: Photons distributing as waves

Peng, Hui

The classical interpretation of Young’s double slit experiment is that, before and after passing through the diaphragm of the double slit, the light behaves as waves. Feynman called the double slit experiment “the only mystery [of quantum mechanics]. We have shown for the first time in the classical wave experiments: (1) Particle patterns (non-interference patterns) indicating the particle nature of light are near the diaphragm, and Interference patterns are near the screen; (2) Particle patterns evolve to Transition patterns (non-interference patterns) and finally, evolve to Interference patterns. We proposed Postulates of lens for utilizing lens in wave experiments. In this article, we experimentally suggest that Particle patterns, Transition patterns and Interference patterns simultaneously emerging on the screen in the double slit experiments show that the light beams are photons. The photon chamber shows that the photons distribute as waves in the wave experiments. We suggest that these phenomena and the physical mechanism of them are new mystery.

Young's Double-Slit Experiment: "What's Really Happening?"

Nakka Gurappa

A new wave-particle non-dualistic interpretation for the quantum formalism is presented by proving that the Schrödinger wave function is an `{\it instantaneous resonant spatial mode}' in which the quantum particle moves. The probabilities in quantum mechanics arise only for the observer's perspective due to the nature of doing experiments but they do not exist in Nature. In other words, quantum mechanics itself is not a probabilistic theory. This view-point is proved by deriving the Born's rule by showing it to be equal to the experimentally observed relative frequencies. Also, it is shown that the classical and quantum mechanical times are one and the same. By identifying the already inherently existing mechanism for the collapse of wave function within the quantum formalism, the present interpretation naturally proves why the Copenhagen interpretation is very successful in explaining the experimental outcomes. The Young's double-slit experiment, the Wheeler's delayed choice experiment and the Afshar's experiment are unambiguously explained at a single quantum level. Both `measurement problem' and `retrocausality' are absent in the present non-dualistic interpretation of quantum mechanics.
