Quantenmechanik, Beobachtung und Deutung

Zusammenfassung

The doctrine of wave-particle duality and complementarity has been regarded since the late 1920’s as the only possible interpretation of observations such as electron diffraction through crystals and screens with two slits as well as other coherence phenomena. Physicists have been unaware that those apparent wave features can be accounted for, without supernatural dual manifestations made palatable by semi-philosophical ‘renunciation’, by the unitary quantum mechanics of matter particles alone if one only is consistent enough to admit that there are three (rather than only two) conservation laws of mechanics, hence there are three (rather than two) corresponding selection rules, for E, pφ and also for the linear momentum p, restricting the mechanical activity of time-, angular-periodic, and also of space-periodic systems. This clears up the mystery of dualism in a physical manner without philosophical subtleties and leads to a great simplification of the quantum ideology.
