How Could Classical Electrons Acquire Double-Slit Quantum Interference via Interacting with Stochastic Quantum Fields

Abstract

Quantum interference is traditionally interpreted as evidence of intrinsic wave–particle duality, invoking self-interference and wavefunction superposition. Here, we propose an alternative causal framework in which interference arises from interactions between a classical electron and a quantized electromagnetic field. In this picture, electrons follow definite, localized trajectories and produce discrete detection events, while the observed interference pattern emerges statistically from stochastic, nonlocal momentum transfers mediated by quantized field modes. Numerical simulations of the double-slit experiment show that dot-like interference fringes arise without invoking wavefunction collapse or intrinsic matter waves. Doubling the electron mass narrows the fringe spacing in agreement with de Broglie scaling, indicating that the effective wavelength emerges dynamically from particle–field coupling rather than representing an inherent property of the particle. The formulation is based on a rigorously defined Hamiltonian and derived equations describing electromagnetic coupling between particles and the slit environment. Although neutral particles such as neutrons or atoms carry no net charge monopoles, they possess electric or magnetic dipole and higher multipole moments that enable electromagnetic interactions with the slit apparatus, allowing discrete momentum transfer through the quantized field. Our simulations show that interference fringes arise from intermittent singleparticle detection events caused by stochastic momentum impulses from quantized electromagnetic modes. These results suggest a reinterpretation of wave–particle duality: the apparent wave-like behavior of matter may arise from interaction with the inherently wave-like quantized electromagnetic field—whose quanta are photons, the massless U(1)-gauge bosons—rather than from an intrinsic wave nature of the particles themselves. Our analysis is rigorous and is not speculative, because the proposed Hamiltonian for this system is physical. Within this nonlocal hidden-variable framework, the dot-like interference pattern observed in the double-slit experiment emerges from individual electrons traversing one slit at a time while receiving discrete momentum impulses from stochastic, spatially extended quantized electromagnetic fields.

How Classical Electrons Acquire Matter-Wave Duality via Quantized Field Interactions

Jau Tang, Chien-Cheng Chang

Abstract Quantum interference is often seen as a manifestation of intrinsic wave–particle duality, invoking self-interference and wavefunction superposition. We propose an alternative causal framework where interference arises from interactions between a classical electron and a quantized electromagnetic field. Electrons follow definite, localized trajectories and yield discrete detection events. The wave-like interference pattern emerges statistically from stochastic, nonlocal momentum transfers mediated by quantized field modes. Simulations of double-slit experiments show that dot-like fringes arise without wavefunction collapse or intrinsic wave behavior. Doubling the electron mass narrows fringe spacing in line with de Broglie scaling, suggesting the effective wavelength results dynamically from field coupling, not as an inherent particle trait. This interpretation preserves classical realism while reproducing quantum interference as an emergent, ensemble-level phenomenon. It provides a deterministic account grounded in structured field interactions. In this view, wave–particle duality of electrons reflects the wave nature of photons—the massless U(1) gauge bosons mediating the field—rather than being a fundamental property of matter.

Emergent Dot-Like Double-Slit Interference, Stern-Gerlach Bi-Fringe and Quantum-Entanglement Signals: A Quantized EM-Field Paradigm without Schrödinger Equation, Wavefunction Collapse and Spooky Action

Jau Tang

We present a new paradigm of quantum reality in which classical particles interact deterministically with quantized electromagnetic fields embedded in a causal lattice spacetime. These interactions induce discrete momentum transfers that account for the dot-like buildup of double-slit interference fringes, the bi-fringe outcomes of the Stern–Gerlach experiment, and the correlations observed in entanglement tests. Within this framework, which provides a non-local hidden variable mechanism, naturally leads to the emergence of Heisenberg uncertainty, de Broglie duality, and the Dirac equation as natural consequences of causal field dynamics, rather than as postulated axioms. The model further provides experimentally testable predictions—including momentum-transfer sidebands and the temperature dependence of the Casimir force—that distinguish it from both the Copenhagen interpretation and more recent alternatives. By grounding quantum phenomena in causal field–particle interactions, this paradigm reproduces the experimental dot-like features in double-slit interference and Stern-Gerlach fringes. Thus, it offers a transparent and physically consistent alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation, achieving the completeness that Einstein argued was missing from conventional theory.

Causal Non-Local Cavity-Induced Discrete Momentum Transfer in Double-Slit Interference Without Copenhagen’s Wavefunction Collapse and Self-Interference

Jau Tang, Chien-Cheng Chang

Double-slit interference is one of the most fundamental quantum phenomena among photons and other particles. We propose a novel and realist quantum framework in which interference patterns in double-slit experiments arise not from wavefunction self-interference or collapse, but from causal non-local, quantized cavity-induced momentum exchange between the electron and the double-slit field potential. Unlike Copenhagen or Bohmian interpretations, our theory treats the electron as a deterministic, soliton-like entity governed by classical-like trajectories. The quantized potential of the slits—described via creation and annihilation operators—is responsible for discrete momentum transfer through coupling with cavity or barrier modes, modeled via octonionic algebra that differentiates internal particle structure from external field dynamics. The resulting interference pattern emerges from non-local, quantized interactions between the electron and field modes without invoking the probabilistic wavefunction. Our model aligns with experimental violations of Bell’s inequality and avoids conceptual paradoxes such as wavefunction collapse and self-interference. The framework makes several testable predictions, offering a promising new direction for understanding quantum interference with clearer physical realism.

A New Paradigm for Single-Particle Double-Slit Interference: Cavity-Induced Nonlocal Quantized Momentum Transfer with no Need for Schrödinger’s Wavefunction, Self-Interference, and Wavefunction Collapse

Jau Tang

We propose a quantum framework where cavity-induced nonlocal stochastic quantized momentum transfer governs double-slit interference of single eelectrons, replacing self-interference, wavefunction collapse, and Schrödinger’s wavefunction description. Using Heisenberg’s operator formalism, we model the electron’s interaction with the double slit as a quantized field potential. This approach explains interference via discrete momentum transfer through stochastic cavity modes. We explore its role as a non-local hidden-variable mechanism, predicting deviations in Bell violation, and finer discrete interference fringes in short cavity-mode wavelength regimes, opening new avenues for experimental verification. Our new interpretation of quantum dynamics sheds light on long-standing debates about quantum reality, hidden variables, wave-function superposition and Schrödinger’s cat, the illusion of self-interference of a single electron, and instantaneous wavefunction collapse misconception in the measurements. Our theory possesses the deterministic description of an electron a stochastic yet nonlocal hidden variable characteristic of the quantized cavity modes. It meets Einstein’s desire for a more complete theory and bridges the gap between physical reality and the incomplete conventional quantum theory that requires confusing Copenhagen or many-world interpretations.

Field-Based Quantum Reality: Dot-Like Double-Slit Interference Fringes, Spin Bi- fringes, and Entanglement without Copenhagen Interpretation

Jau Tang

Abstract We present a new quantum reality paradigm in which classical particles interact deterministically with quantized electromagnetic fields embedded in a causal lattice spacetime. This interaction induces discrete momentum transfers that account for the dot-like buildup of double-slit interference fringes, the bifringes of Stern–Gerlach spin separation, and the correlations observed in entanglement experiments. In this framework, Heisenberg uncertainty, de Broglie duality, and even the Dirac equation emerge as consequences of causal and quantized field dynamics, rather than as postulated axioms. The model provides experimentally testable predictions such as momentum-transfer sidebands and Casimir force temperature dependence, distinguishing it from both the Copenhagen interpretation and recent alternative proposals. By grounding quantum phenomena in causal field–particle interactions, this paradigm offers a transparent and physically consistent alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation—fulfilling the completeness that Einstein believed the conventional theory lacked.
