On the missing anisotropic space inside atoms in quantum mechanics

Schrödinger developed his famous equation from the standard wavelength. However, as demonstrated here, inside the atom, the electron does not move according to de Broglie-Einstein’s postulate λ = h/p, because the wavelength of the electron’s motion varies with the distance to the nucleus. Therefore, Schrödinger’s equation does not quantify the real electron’s motion in atoms. Here, the equation of a variable wavelength for electron motion inside atoms is introduced. The calculation, applied to the hydrogen atom, achieves energy level values very close to the experimental values. This successful result can provide a deeper understanding of the behavior of electrons in atoms and improve the fundamentals of quantum mechanics (QM). However, beyond the question concerning the postulate λ = h/p, two other fundamental principles may be missing in modern QM, and they are: an anisotropic space inside atoms and a motion of the electron through a helical trajectory.

Resource prioritization and balancing for the quantum internet

The quantum Internet enables networking based on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics. Here, methods and procedures of resource prioritization and resource balancing are defined for the quantum Internet. We define a model for resource consumption optimization in quantum repeaters, and a strongly-entangled network structure for resource balancing. We study the resource-balancing efficiency of the strongly-entangled structure. We prove that a strongly-entangled quantum network is two times more efficient in a resource balancing problem than a full-mesh network of the traditional Internet.
