Particle-wave dualism: clearly

"If you think you understand quantum theory ... then you don't understand quantum theory." - Feynman R., lectures "The nature of physical laws" (1964), ch. 6.



This and similar statements about the incomprehensibility of the laws of quantum mechanics have always irritated me. Corpuscular-wave dualism , the properties of quantum particles to behave like waves and like particles - is it really impossible to understand them clearly, to see not as the behavior of mathematical solutions, but with your own eyes? In this review, I will present results challenging this mysticism.



Derivation of the de Broglie ratio



Louis de Broglie knew the ratioE=hΞ½ (Planck's formula) andE0=m0c2 (equivalence of mass and energyin the special theory of relativity) wherem0 - rest mass, i.e. mass in its own frame of reference.



According to the theory of relativity, there is no absolute time, and each point in space has its own - the fourth coordinate t. Own time, as Louis de Broglie reasoned, is like a personal watch. Both the person and the electron have them. What does it mean?



He suggested that each particle has an internal periodic process (tick-tock with frequency), which serves as a measure of its own time [1]. This innermost process with a frequency in its own frame of reference allows us to link two energy formulas



E0=m0c2=hΞ½0



A stationary observer perceives an oscillatory process Ξ½0 particles flying with a speedv at pointx like



ψ=exp⁑(2Ο€iΞ½t)



The transition to the particle reference frame gives in the exponent

ψ(x,t)=exp⁑(2Ο€i(m0c2hvc2β‹…xβˆ’Eht0))=exp⁑(2Ο€i(m0vhxβˆ’E0ht0))=exp⁑(iℏ(pβ‹…xβˆ’Eβ‹…t))

It should be noted that similar ideas were discussed in Russian science much earlier, for example, in the book of the Tomsk scientist B.N. Rodimov "Self-oscillatory quantum mechanics" [3]. He also designed a particle-wave. Unfortunately, his ideas were not picked up.
