Discrete Time Leads to Quantum-Like Interference of Deterministic Particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note we demonstrate that a quantum-like interference picture could appear as a statistical effect of interference of deterministic particles, i.e. particles that have trajectories and obey deterministic equations, if one introduces a discrete time. The nature of the resulting interference picture does not follow from the geometry of force field, but is strongly attached to the time discreetness parameter. As a demonstration of this concept we consider a scattering of charged particles on the charged screen with a single slit. The resulting interference picture has a nontrivial minimum-maximum distribution which vanishes as the time discreetness parameter goes to zero that could be interpreted as an analog of quantum decoherence. ∗Project of The Royal Academy of Science, Sweden, on the collaboration with States of the former Soviet Union; and Project ”Mathematical Modelling” of Växjö University.

متن کاملInterference as a statistical consequence of conjecture on time quant
We analyze statistical consequences of a conjecture that there exists a fundamental (indivisible) quant of time. We study particle dynamics with discrete time. We show that a quantum-like interference pattern could appear as a statistical effect for deterministic particles, i.e. particles that have trajectories and obey deterministic dynamical equations, if one introduces a discrete time. As a ...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics in a Nutshell
Time: end of the 19th century. Maxwell’s equations have established Faraday’s hunch that light is an electromagnetic wave. However, by early 20th century, experimental evidence mounted pointing towards the fact that light is carried by ‘particles’ that pack a definite momentum and energy. Here is the crux of the problem: consider the double-slit experiment. Monochromatic light of wavelength pas...
متن کاملTowards the demystification of quantum interference
It has been shown that velocity of propagation of wave front cannot coincide with observable velocity of quantum particles. It is additional argument leads to conclusion that phase wave of de Broglie cannot be associated with single “elementary” particle like electron. Therefore quantum interference under linear superposition cannot describe energy distribution in extended quantum particles. Es...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System
The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...
