From special relativity to quantum mechanics through interval and phase

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

Quantum mechanics is an optics with one more spatial dimension, the angle of phase. Wave-particle duality is nothing else than geometric tangentpoint duality. The « interval » of special relativity is proportional to the phase.
