Quantum foundations are still unsettled, with mixed effects on science and society. By now it should be possible to obtain consensus on at least one issue: Are the fundamental constituents fields or particles? As this paper shows, experiment and theory imply that unbounded fields, not bounded particles, are fundamental. This is especially clear for relativistic systems, implying that it's also true of nonrelativistic systems. Particles are epiphenomena arising from fields. Thus, the Schrodinger…

Convergence in Quantum Field Theory without Use of Renormalization
In quantum field theory (QFT), it is well known that when Feynman diagrams containing loops are evaluated to account for self interactions, probability amplitude comes out to be infinite which is…
The Wave-Particle Duality—Does the Concept of Particle Make Sense in Quantum Mechanics? Should We Ask the Second Quantization?
The quantum object is in general considered as displaying both wave and particle nature. By particle is understood an item localized in a very small volume of the space, and which cannot be…
Quantum realism is consistent with quantum facts
TLDR
This paper examines several controversial issues, namely quantization, field particle duality, quantum randomness, superposition, entanglement, non-locality, and measurement, to argue that standard quantum physics, realistically interpreted, is consistent with all of them.
On the Only Fields interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
The wave-particle duality, while being supported by overwhelming scientific evidence, is now claimed outdated by some physics professionals. They declare that the Quantum Field Theory allows only…
Particles Actually Represent the Names of Types of Waves
It is accepted that quantum mechanics (QM) describes motion of waves and particles. Therefore, we must use wave-particle duality (WPD), which is usually considered as one of the foundations of QM;…
Ontic structural realism and quantum field theory: Are there intrinsic properties at the most fundamental level of reality?
Solving the measurement problem within standard quantum theory
A misunderstanding of entangled states has spawned decades of concern about quantum measurements and a plethora of quantum interpretations. The "measurement state" or "Schrodinger's cat state" of a…
Is the photon really a particle?
The electron as a confined photon
A new topological study is presented of a semi classical quantized model for the electron, consisting of a circularly bound monochromatic photon. This model for the electron includes a topologically…
Two-photon interferometry illuminates quantum measurements
The quantum measurement problem still finds no consensus. Nonlocal interferometry provides an unprecedented experimental probe by entangling two photons in the "measurement state" (MS). The…

No place for particles in relativistic quantum theories
Several recent arguments purport to show that there can be no relativistic, quantum-mechanical theory of localizable particles and, thus, that relativity and quantum mechanics can be reconciled only…
In Defense of Dogma: Why There Cannot be a Relativistic Quantum Mechanics of (Localizable) Particles
IN SOME QUARTERS, AT LEAST, IT COUNTS as the “received view” that there cannot be a relativistic, quantum mechanical theory of (localizable) particles. In the attempt to reconcile quantum mechanics…
Teaching Quantum Uncertainty1
An earlier paper2 introduces quantum physics by means of four experiments: Youngs double-slit interference experiment using (1) a light beam, (2) a low-intensity light beam with time-lapse…
Teaching Quantum Physics Without Paradoxes
Although the resolution to the wave-particle paradox has been known for 80 years,1,2 it is seldom presented. Briefly, the resolution is that material particles and photons are the quanta of extended…
ON THE EINSTEIN PODOLSKY ROSEN PARADOX*
THE paradox of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen [1] was advanced as an argument that quantum mechanics could not be a complete theory but should be supplemented by additional variables. These additional…
The interpretation of quantum mechanics: where do we stand?
We reconsider some important foundational problems of quantum mechanics. After reviewing the measurement problem and discussing its unavoidability, we analyze some proposals to overcome it. This…
The Quantum Theory of the Emission and Absorption of Radiation
The new quantum theory, based on the assumption that the dynamical variables do not obey the commutative law of multiplication, has by now been developed sufficiently to form a fairly complete theory…
Quantum mechanics: To be or not to be local
TLDR
A new study combing experiment and theory shows that a broad and rather reasonable class of such non-local realistic theories is incompatible with observed quantum correlations, suggesting that any future extension of quantum theory must abandon certain features of realistic descriptions.
Teaching Quantum Nonlocalitya)
Nonlocality arises from the unified “all or nothing” interactions of a spatially extended field quantum such as a photon or an electron.2 In the double-slit experiment with light, for example, each…
Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?
TLDR
Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that one is led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
