Quantum mechanics and discontinuous motion of particles

Abstract

We discuss a new realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics based on discontinuous motion of particles. The historical and logical basis of discontinuous motion of particles is given. It proves that if there exists only one kind of physical reality--particles, then the realistic motion of particles described by quantum mechanics should be discontinuous motion. We further denote that protective measurement may provide a direct method to confirm the existence of discontinuous motion of particles.

The Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (I)

Shan, Gao

Aiming at providing an objective motion picture for the microscopic object described by the wave function, new analysis about motion is presented by use of the point set theory in mathematics, through which we show that a new kind of motion named quantum discontinuous motion is the general motion mode of the particle, while classical continuous motion is just one kind of extremely peculiar motion, and the wave function in quantum mechanics proves to be the very mathematical complex describing the particle undergoing the quantum discontinuous motion. Furthermore, Schroedinger equation of the wave function is shown to be the simplest nonrelativistic evolution equation for the particle undergoing the new motion, and the consistent axiom system of quantum mechanics is also deduced out. At last, we demonstrate that present quantum measurement theories just confirm the existence of the new motion of the microscopic particle described by the wave function, and the weird displays of the wave function in microscopic world are also physically explained in terms of the new motion.

The basis of discontinuous motion

Rui Qi

We show that the instant motion of particle should be essentially discontinuous and random. This gives the logical basis of discontinuous motion. Since what quantum mechanics describes is the discontinuous motion of particles, this may also answer the question 'why the quantum?'.

From Quantum Motion to Classical Motion—Seeking the Lost Reality

Gao Shan

We show that the natural motion of particles in continuous space-time (CSTM) is not classical continuous motion (CCM), but one kind of essentially discontinuous motion, the wave function in quantum mechanics is the very mathematical complex describing this kind of motion, and Schrodinger equation is just its simplest nonrelativistic motion equation, we call such motion quantum discontinuous motion or quantum motion; furthermore, we show that, when considering gravity the space-time will be essentially discrete, and the motion in discrete space-time (DSTM) will naturally result in the collapse process of the wave function, this finally brings about the appearance of classical continuous motion (CCM) in macroscopic world.

About the Nature of the Quantum System—An Examination of the Random Discontinuous Motion Interpretation of the Quantum Mechanics

Sofia Wechsler

What is the quantum system? Consider the wave-function of the electron—what we call “single particle wave-function”—and assume that it contains N wave-packets. If we pass all the wave-packets through an electric field, all are deflected, as if each one of them contains an electron. However, if we bring any two wave-packets to travel close to one another, they don’t repel one another, as if at least one of them contains no charge. In trying to solve the measurement problem of the quantum mechanics (QM), different interpretations were proposed, each one coming with a particular ontology. However, only one interpretation paid explicit attention to the contradiction mentioned above. This interpretation was proposed by S. Gao who named it “random discontinuous motion” (RDM), because it assumes the existence of a particle that jumps from place to place at random. The particle carries all the physical properties of the respective type of particle, mass, charge, magnetic momentum, etc. It jumps under the control of an “instantaneous condition” about which Gao did not give details so far. Along with presenting problems of the QM that this interpretation solves, this text reveals difficulties vis-à-vis entanglements and the special relativity.

A Suggested Interpretation of the Quantum Theory in Terms of Discontinuous Motion of Particles

Gao Shan

We present a theory of discontinuous motion of particles in continuous space-time. We show that the simplest nonrelativistic evolution equation of such motion is just the Schrodinger equation in quantum mechanics. This strongly implies what quantum mechanics describes is discontinuous motion of particles. Considering the fact that space-time may be essentially discrete when considering gravity, we further present a theory of discontinuous motion of particles in discrete space-time. We show that its evolution will naturally result in the dynamical collapse process of the wave function, and this collapse will bring about the appearance of continuous motion of objects in the macroscopic world.
