Interpretation Of Quantum Theory

The interpretation problems of quantum theory are considered. In the formalism of quantum theory the possible states of a system are described by a state vector. The state vector, which will be represented as |ψ> in Dirac notation, is the most general form of the quantum mechanical description. The central problem of the interpretation of quantum theory is to explain the physical significance of the |ψ>. In this paper we have shown that one of the best way to make of interpretation of wave function is to take the wave function as an operator.

Uniform Plasma

In this communication the authors have obtained an expression for current density in a slightly ionized uniform plasma in the presence of a number of electric fields of different frequencies by solving the appropriate Boltzmann's equation. This expression along with the wave equation has been used to investigate the nonlinear mutual interaction of a number of electromagnetic waves, propagating in a plasma. Limitations of the present analysis have also been indicated and the physical significance of the results has been discussed. The technique has also been applied to investigate the mutual interaction of amplitude-modulated waves, and the results express a generalization of Luxembourg effect to a number of strong modulated waves.

Nerve Excitation

Blair's recent theory of excitation is analysed with the following conclusions: 1. The theory is inapplicable to currents of long duration; i.e., slowly increasing currents and the opening excitation. 2. The theory is a modification of the condenser theory of excitation but the modification is to be rejected on three grounds: (a) The modification has no obvious physical significance. (b) It does not in fact remedy the divergence between calculation and observation. (c) It leads to certain conclusions of a surprising kind which are contrary to observed fact. 3. The qualitative value of the condenser theory is demonstrated by the fairly close agreement between calculation and observation over a considerable field of enquiry.

A new classical theory of electrons

Gauge Transformations

In the theory of the electromagnetic field without charges, the potentials are not fixed by the field, but are subject to gauge transformations. The theory thus involves more dynamical variables than are physically needed. It is possible by destroying the gauge transformations to make the superfluous variables acquire a physical significance and describe electric charges. One gets in this way a simplified classical theory of electrons, which appears to be more suitable than the usual one as a basis for a passage to the quantum theory.
