Abstract

For a century, Quantum Mechanics has been predicated on an unverified assump-tion – the existence of the quantum wave. We demonstrate that this concept is amisidentification. While classical waves such as water waves and acoustic wavesexist as physical reflections, a particle-generated quantum wave does not exist.Rumour Quantum Wave = 0 The phenomena observed in Bell inequality, quantum tunnelling, and double-slitexperiments, historically attributed to a quantum wave, are consistently explainedas the manifestation of a fundamentally different entity: the Reflection GeneratedZiwave.So-Called Quantum Wave = Zwave = GZulf ia This paper establishes the fundamentals of Ziwave and resolves the century-longconceptual confusion by showing that the so-called quantum wave was always Ziwave.

Quantum mechanics writ large

John W. M. Bush

Some two centuries before the quantum revolution, Newton (1) suggested that corpuscles of light generate waves in an aethereal medium like skipping stones generate waves in water, with their motion then being affected by these aether waves. Times have changed. Light corpuscles are now known as photons, and the majority of physicists have dispensed with the notion of aether. Nevertheless, certain features of Newton's metaphor live on in one particular version of quantum mechanics. According to pilot wave theory, first proposed by de Broglie (2) and later developed by Bohm (3) with Einstein's encouragement, microscopic elements such as photons and electrons consist of both particle and wave, the former being guided by the latter. Although this physical picture has not been widely accepted, it has had some notable proponents, including Bell (4). Its principal appeal is that it restores realism and determinism to quantum mechanics, its weakness that the physical nature of the guiding wave field remains unclear. At the time that pilot wave theory was developed and then overtaken by the Copenhagen interpretation as the standard view of quantum mechanics, there was no macroscopic pilot wave analog to draw upon. Now there is.

Are there photons in fact?

Sergey A. Rashkovskiy

There are two opposing points of view on the nature of light: the first one manifests the wave-particle duality as a fundamental property of the nature; the second one claims that photons do not exist and the light is a continuous classical wave, while the so-called “quantum” properties of this field appear only as a result of its interaction with matter. In this paper we show that many quantum phenomena which are traditionally described by quantum electrodynamics can be described if light is considered within the limits of classical electrodynamics without quantization of radiation. These phenomena include the double-slit experiment, the photoelectric effect, the Compton effect, the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect, the so-called multiphoton ionisation of atoms, etc. We show that this point of view allows also explaining the “wave-particle duality” of light in Wiener experiments with standing waves. We show that the Born rule for light can easily be derived from Fermi’s golden rule as an approximation for low-intense light or for short exposure time. We show that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for “photons” has a simple classical sense and cannot be considered as a fundamental limitation of accuracy of simultaneous measurements of position and momentum or time and energy. We conclude that the concept of a “photon” is superfluous in explanation of light-matter interactions.

On the Nature of Quantum Waves

L. Ellam

Technology majors when introduced to quantum concepts, invariably encounter difficulties in the understanding of matter waves. Further, de Broglie waves are usually considered to be different from the waves inherent in Schrodinger's equation. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the nature of quantum waves and to pursue the implications of wave-particle duality.

Quantum Mechanics: The Greatest Speculation of the 20th Century

Mary Kartansky

Quantum mechanics emerged in the first decades of the 20th century as a powerful mathematical framework for describing microscopic phenomena. While its predictive success in specific domains is widely acknowledged, its ontological foundations remain deeply problematic nearly a century after its formulation. This paper examines the historical development of quantum mechanics, focusing on the introduction of key concepts such as the collapse of the wave function and quantum entanglement. It argues that these notions did not arise as direct consequences of experimental findings, but were introduced as additional postulates to resolve internal inconsistencies within the theory. The analysis highlights the circular nature of experimental confirmation in quantum mechanics and demonstrates that even the most rigorous tests, including loophole-free Bell inequality experiments, primarily validate mathematical predictions rather than resolve fundamental ontological questions. Multiple alternative interpretations proposed over the decades have failed to achieve consensus, indicating persistent conceptual difficulties. The paper concludes that quantum mechanics, particularly in its standard interpretation, functions more as a speculative mathematical construction than as a coherent and ontologically consistent theory of physical reality. «Keywords:» quantum mechanics, wave function collapse, quantum entanglement, measurement problem, ontology, Copenhagen interpretation, Bell inequalities, alternative interpretations, philosophy of physics

The Pre-Ziwave Equation: Before Collision on a Certified Domain d'Alembert as a Special Case

DR. ZULFIQAR ALI KHAN

For more than a century since d’Alembert, the classical wave equation has been assumedto hold on a fully accessible domain Ω. No extension in the available literature has revisitedits foundational domain assumption.We replace this assumption with a certified origin. Using Zulfia Decomposition inProbability (ZDM) Z(t) = MZ [η(t0)] + ∆(t) within Zulfia Bi-Face Probability Theory(ZBPT) [1], the wave field is restricted to certified face ΩC = ∆−1(0) where PZ exists andC(ω) = 1ΩC (ω) = 1, with deviation face Ω \ ΩC excluded where ∆(t)̸ = 0.The certified Pre-Ziwave equation on ΩC , Before Collision ∆(t) = 0, reads:C(ω) ∂2MZ∂t2 = c2∇ · (C(ω)∇MZ ) on ΩC , ∆ = 0, (1)where MZ is the null-mapped component. The conventional d’Alembert equation utt =c2∇2u on Ω is its special case when ΩC = Ω, C ≡ 1, and ∆(t) ≡ 0, i.e., when certificationis assumed without generating it. By ZBPT, general case is ΩC ⊂ Ω.In this Before Collision regime, wave remains strictly classical and provides certifiedfoundation for electromagnetic, gravitational, acoustic and all classical wave phenomena.After Collision ∆(t)̸ = 0 leading to Schr¨odinger-type Ziwave is outside scope.

The Schrödinger Wave Equation

Abstract Just as it is impossible to derive Newton ‘s equations of motion in classical mechanics or Maxwell ‘s equations for electricity and magnetism (EM) from first principles, neither can we demonstrate the validity of the Schrödinger equation approach (or any other equivalent one) to quantum mechanics a priori. We can, however, make use of early quantum ideas and the connection between the classical wave equation and the photon concept to help in understanding its structure.
