A deterministic representation of plane-wave interference

Детерминистическое представление интер ференции плоских волн

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

It is shown how the particle aspect of plane-wave interference can be «conceived in the classical sense as a point mass possessing at each instant both a definite position and a definite momentum» (N. Jammer:The Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics (Wiley & Sons Inc., New York, N.Y., 1974)). An incoherent superposition of generalized momentum eigenstates is introduced for this purpose.

Riassunto

Si mostra come l’aspetto particellare dell’interferenza di onde piane può essere «concepito in senso classico come una massa puntiforme che possiede ad ogni istante sia una posizione che un momento defmiti» (M. Jammer:The Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics (Wiley & Sons Inc., New York, N.Y., 1974)). Si introduce una superposizione incoerente di autostati generalizzati del momento per questo scopo.

Резюме

Показывается, что кор пускулярный аспект Интерференции плоск их волн может быть «пред ставлен в классическ ом смысле, как точечная масса, ко торая одновременно имеет т очное положение и точ ный импульс». Для этой цел и вводится некогерентная супер позиция собственных состояний обобщенного импульс а.
