Duality in Quantum Physics

Published Jun 28, 2025• 0 citations

Abstract

In this short paper we study duality as it appears in the quantum world after an extensive research on hidden variables. The landmark of this duality is Omega=-PV which is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, a thermodynamic quantity.

Metaphysics and Quantum Physics

Peter J. Lewis

Quantum physics confronts contemporary metaphysicians with a fascinating and frustrating puzzle. It appears to be telling us something novel and surprising about the nature of the physical world, but it is hard to pin down exactly what it tells us. Hidden variable theories constitute a second major class of solutions to the measurement problem. They differ from the standard theory and spontaneous collapse theories in eschewing collapse altogether; according to hidden variable theories, the wavefunction always evolves according to the Schrodinger equation. The simplest and most radical response to the measurement problem is to assert that standard quantum mechanics without wavefunction collapse constitutes a complete physical theory. The many worlds theory is more flexible in this regard; according to the standard contemporary version, no presupposition is made concerning precisely which physical properties form the basis of measurement results. There are several approaches to quantum mechanics, any or none of which might yield an acceptable physical theory.

Regarding the Formalism of Quantum Mechanics

Spiros Koutandos

Classical physics meets the obstacle of describing a point particle because from everyday experience we know that objects occupy a certain volume.We overcome this obstacle by using the equivalence principle for electric energy and describe a curved spacetime of fluid nature.From thereon by using the notion of a point volume the rest of the thermodynamic quantities appear.We find the alpha omega formula and the time derivative of action in quantum mechanics.

The hidden ontological variable in quantum harmonic oscillators

Gerard ’t Hooft

The standard quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator has an exact, dual relationship with a completely classical system: a classical particle running along a circle. Duality here means that there is a one-to-one relation between all observables in one model, and the observables of the other model. Thus the duality we find, appears to be in conflict with the usual assertion that classical theories can never reproduce quantum effects as observed in many quantum models. We suggest that there must be more of such relationships, but we study only this one as a prototype. It reveals how classical hidden variables may work. The classical states can form the basis of Hilbert space that can be adopted in describing the quantum model. Wave functions in the quantum system generate probability distributions in the classical one. One finds that, where the classical system always obeys the rule probability in = probability out, the same probabilities are quantum probabilities in the quantum system. It is shown how the quantum x and p operators in a quantum oscillator can be given a classical meaning. It is explained how an apparent clash with quantum logic can be rationalized.

The Mirror of Reality: A Five-Dimensional Framework for Understanding Quantum Mechanics

Spiros Koutandos

This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical framework proposing that our observable three-dimensional world is a projection of five-dimensional processes onto a hyperspherical surface. After 35 years of extensive research into the hidden variables of quantum mechanics, we propose that mass-induced curvature creates a four-dimensional hypersphere that acts as a "mirror of reality," with the fifth dimension existing beyond this boundary. This framework offers novel explanations for quantum phenomena including wave-particle duality, wavefunction collapse, quantum entanglement, and the probabilistic nature of quantum measurements. By conceptualizing the present moment as a spherical hypersurface of simultaneity that functions as a reflective boundary, we provide geometric interpretations for quantum mechanical behaviors that have long puzzled physicists. The model assigns thermodynamic quantities to probability amplitudes and various quantum observables, potentially bridging quantum mechanics with classical physics through geometric principles.

A 10-Dimensional and 11-Dimensional Hidden Variables Duality Model of a ‘D-brane and Type I String Structure’

Gary Heen

In this paper a 'hidden variables' interpretation of the quantum world is presented. A hidden variables explanation assumes current quantum mechanical theories are imperfect in that they do not incorporate a physical reality to the quantum world. At the Solvay conference of 1927, Louis De Broglie presented a hypothesis which was to be the forerunner to hidden variables theory: at the quantum level, a 'matter wave' steered particles. Under the powerful influence of Neils Bohr, Louis De Broglie's matter wave was disregarded in favor of the 'Copenhagen Interpretation' championed by Bohr himself, and the Copenhagen interpretation became the de facto accepted theory of quantum mechanics. In 1932, John Von Neumann presented a supposed that no hidden variables theory could properly describe the quantum world. He was first shown to be wrong by Grete Hermann, but she was largely ignored do to Neumann's immense stature as a mathematician. Later in 1966, John Bell further established that the proof was flawed, and the hidden variables interpretation has since seen a renewal of interest amongst researchers. The model presented in this paper incorporates d-branes and Type I strings into a hidden variables quantum structure; this physical structure can be interpreted as both 10-dimensional and 11- dimensional, and is designated: the D-string.
