By: AGORAVOX.FR An incredible discovery could revolutionize quantum physics: the splitting of the wave function -by Bernard Dugué (his website) If the results obtained by the team of Humphrey Maris is confirmed, then we can say that the splitting of the electronic wave function is a major discovery in quantum physics, probably the biggest discovery for 85 years and the largest in the 21st century. This was achieved by studying a fairly late phenomenon as is to interact with an electron superfluid liquid helium. This produces a cavity a sort of bubble due to the effect of helium on the electron but before detecting the electron, other micro-objects negatively ionized reach the detector 14 in a previous experiment. In this new experiment, Maris and his team have attempted to produce an exotic ion by a photon interact in a way that alters the quantum state of the bubble. They found 18 of these exotic objects negatively charged. Three assumptions are made but one is almost certain is the fission of the electronic wave function. (W. Wei et al. Study of Exotic Ions in superfluid Helium and the Possible Fission Electron Wave Function of the. Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 2014). If the phenomenon is found then this is a major discovery that could topple the interpretation of quantum physics. Recall some basics of quantum physics. A system is described by a wave function and to make it simple, lets take this feature really not complicated. Phi = a. phi (A) + b. phi (B). This feature describes a system which, when observed, will give as result that A or B. This is called the process of reduction of the wave function. In this formula a and b are coefficients whose square indicates the probability of achieving A or B. For example, if a = b = ½ and then √¾ The probability of A is one-quarter and three quarters to B. Suppose that the experiment is carried out forty times, A is observed about a dozen times and B thirty. For A, it can be 8 or 12 and 32 or 28 B. Its like a lottery that is played at the casino. Simply put, phi (A) shows a ticket and when you see you won the A A lot! The quantum observation is from several tickets that are not real (in the orthodox interpretation) and launch roulette. It only gets a single lot. And it is this process that is enigmatic. And which gave rise to many interpretations. Not to complicate the presentation, I will give three circumstances. I. The orthodox interpretation was made at the Solvay Congress of 1927. The design was carried Bohr. It states that as the lottery did not happen, we know nothing of the system and when the lottery (experience) is launched, then all you know is the lot that you won In other words, A or B in the example I gave. You can not access the course of the lottery. This is called determinism. You can calculate the probability for each lot, it is called the quantum probabilism. You can not access determinations phi, ie game tickets, phi (A) and phi (B). When you made the observation, the system is in for the lot which was won with a ticket assigned to it but you can not see quantum state. Finally, the wave function has no physical meaning. For most quanticiens, it is a mathematical tool. But proponents of the realist interpretation, in the wake of de Broglie and Bohm, this function influences the particle. No one could decide this alternative until now. II. Decoherence. Let us now consider an experiment in which the lottery is launched but with such finesse that one can observe Nature behave so you can see the system take two values, A and B. This is quite strange, you earn two batches at a time. But do not delude yourself, you can not cheat Nature. In fact, to win a prize, you must perform the experiment measurement and thus ensure that the quantum system interacts with the observing system (classical). However, once this happens, consistency is removed and you only get one lot. The experience of decoherence is quite compatible with the orthodox interpretation of the rest, it does not contradict. III. The fission of the wave function. The experiment conducted by Maris team opens a new perspective to the extent that the results indicate the possibility of separating lottery tickets for a compound of an electron immersed in liquid helium quantum system. Bubbles absorb each piece of Phi, ie a ticket to the game. Physically speaking, the bubble created by the electron moves in helium with some speed into the detector but what is observed in most are kinds of objects, but in fact 18 are suspected infinite in number, arriving before the electronic bubble and that would track of lottery tickets quantum, ie, the phi (x). These results have puzzled the scientific community. I asked Maris who is not willing to review the basics of quantum mechanics and is content to remain a theory must fit with experiments. But for others like Michael Byrne, these results seem to turn it upside down so that quantum physics seems to walk on the head. Quantum mechanics is facing its most basic assumptions, facing his fate. First with the irreversible fission of the wave that does not fit with the temporal determinism of the Schrödinger equation which is reversible by time reversal function. But here we must be cautious in drawing conclusions. The main result is that the wave function is no longer just a mathematical object but has physical qualities if the interpretation of the experiment is correct. In this case, quantum physics is not invalidated but the orthodox interpretation that takes a beating with an option for the realism of the wave function but not in the sense of Bohm. Since in this experiment, the electron arrives at the detector and is therefore not controlled by the wave function of separately influencing the electron fissionnée helium and being captured by the end of the helium separate objects. Now we must await the experimental confirmation and theoretical physicists thought to be certain of the existence of the phenomenon. Assuming it is proven, then this discovery is more important than the decoherence and even the non separability with Bells inequalities and experiments of Alain Aspect in the 80s Highlighting the substance linked to the wave function is the greatest result of quantum physics since 1927. The highlight is related to helium, with a few Kelvin, can significantly slow down the dynamics of quantum substance to reveal some hidden. details Note that these experiences are new and they are beyond the scope of the orthodox Copenhagen interpretation without lean in favor of the wave driver Bohm and de Broglie. This is anything else is discussed. These results seem unusual but in fact confirm my monadological interpretation of quantum dynamics. Its very satisfying but rather disturbing and my faith, I would like to deprive me of this new vision of nature and the cosmos by publishing this strange essay on cosmonadologie. I had sensed, 2014 announcement of the great discoveries in physics. New interpretations and the end of modern science that will be overtaken by a new vision.
