چکیده

Both classical and quantum physics thrive on the superposition principle (SP), yet the first one takes it as a local effect and the second one assumes it as a non-local phenomenon. We take SP as a tool to bridge the two worlds into one causal frame work by introducing extended interpretations on each one of the mathematical symbols and operators representing the photo detection equation for the case of various two-beam interferometer experiments. The experiments dramatize classical locality. The locality argument arises because the recorded energy re-distribution due to superposition of fields is due to real energy exchange through field-dipole interaction, and not due to field-field interaction. EM fields do not interact with each other in absence of material dipoles. All QM interactions are mediated through amplitude-amplitude stimulation, which is at the root of superposition principle. The detector dipoles attempt to respond to the sum of all the locally superposed EM fields, if allowed quantum mechanically, actualizing the principle of superposition. The energy exchange by the dipoles follow the standard prescription, ensemble average of the square modulus of all the superposed

The principle of anti-superposition in QM and the local solution of the Bell’s inequality problem

In this paper we identify the superposition principle as a main source of problems in QM (measurement, collapse, non-locality etc.). Here the superposition principle for individual systems is substituted by the antisuperposition principle: no non-trivial superposition of states is a possible individual state (for ensembles the superposition principle is true). The modified QM is based on the an...

What are the processes behind energy re-direction and re- distribution in interference and diffraction?

The interpretation of the detection of very slow rate of photo counts in interference and diffraction experiments have given rise to the prevailing interpretation that photons interfere by themselves and they are indivisible, albeit non-local. The purpose of this paper is to inspire the development of alternate models for the photons by underscoring that, in reality, light does not interfere wi...

Bulk Locality and Boundary Creating Operators

We formulate a minimum requirement for CFT operators to be localized in the dual AdS. In any spacetime dimensions, we show that a general solution to the requirement is a linear superposition of operators creating spherical boundaries in CFT, with the dilatation by the imaginary unit from their centers. This generalizes the recent proposal by Miyaji et al. for bulk local operators in the three ...

Entanglement is Schrödinger’s name for superposition in a multi-particle system. In particular he called entangled states two-particle states that cannot be factored into products of two single-particle states in any representation. Multi-particle superposition is considered to be the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics [1]. If one cannot distinguish (even in principle) between different ...
