Wave-Particle Duality and the Hamilton Action
نویسنده
چکیده
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation of relativistic quantum mechanics is revisited. The equation is shown to permit solutions in the form of breathers (oscillating/spinning solitons), displaying simultaneous particle-like and wave-like behaviour. PACS: 03.65-w, 03.65Pm, 03.65.-b

Brane-wave Duality
The quantum mechanical transition between a free particle Lagrangian and the Klein Gordon field description of a free particle (particle wave duality) is conjectured to extend to an analogous construction of relativistically invariant wave equations associated with strings and branes, which we propose to call brane-wave duality. Electromagnetic interactions in the two systems are discussed. It ...
متن کاملND Tadpoles as New String States and Quantum Mechanical Particle-Wave Duality from World-Sheet T-Duality
We consider new objects in bosonic open string theory – ND tadpoles, which have N(euman) boundary conditions at one end of the world-sheet and D(irichlet) at the other, must exist due to s− t duality in a string theory with both NN strings and D-branes. We demonstrate how to interpolate between N and D boundary conditions. In the case of mixed boundary conditions the action for a quantum partic...
متن کاملFractal Approximation of Motion and Its Implications in Quantum Mechanics
Inconsistencies of some standard quantum mechanical models (Madelung’s, de Broglie’s models) are eliminated assuming the micro particle movements on continuous, but non-differentiable curves (fractal curves). This hypothesis, named by us the fractal approximation of motion, will allow an unitary approach of the phenomena in quantum mechanics (separation of the physical motion of objects in wave...
متن کاملThe improvement wave equations of relativistic and non-relativistic quantum mechanics
In this work, we follow the idea of the De Broglie’s matter waves and the analogous method that Schrödinger founded wave equation, but we apply the more essential Hamilton principle instead of the minimum action principle of Jacobi which was used in setting up Schrödinger wave equation. Thus, we obtain a novel non-relativistic wave equation which is different from the Schrödinger equation, and ...
متن کاملFair sampling perspective on an apparent violation of duality.
In the event in which a quantum mechanical particle can pass from an initial state to a final state along two possible paths, the duality principle states that "the simultaneous observation of wave and particle behavior is prohibited" [Scully MO, Englert B-G, Walther H (1991) Nature 351:111-116]. Whereas wave behavior is associated with the observation of interference fringes, particle behavior...
