This is a book about the interpretation of quantum mechanics, in particular how to resolve
the measurement problem introduced by the orthodox interpretation of the theory. The heart …

The zitterbewegung is a local circulatory motion of the electron presumed to be the basis of
the electron spin and magnetic moment. A reformulation of the Dirac theory shows that the …

A practical, in-depth description of the physics behind electron emission physics and its
usage in science and technology Electron emission is both a fundamental phenomenon and …

In this article, we examine the Fowler–Nordheim (FN) equation for field emission using
pedagogical models to introduce and illuminate its origins, limitations, extensions, and …

We pursue our discussion of Fermi's surface initiated by Dennis, de Gosson and Hiley and
show that Bohm's quantum potential can be viewed as an internal energy of a quantum …

At what level of physical existence does" quantum behavior" begin? How does it develop
from classical mechanics? This book addresses these questions and thereby sheds light on …

We study the de Broglie–Bohm interpretation of bosonic relativistic quantum mechanics and
argue that the negative densities and superluminal velocities that appear in this …

We realize a quantum three-level system with photons distributed among three different
spatial and polarization modes. Ambiguous measurements of the state of the qutrit are …

We consider a state of N correlated particles, each with spin j, in which the quantum
expectation value of an operator A^ is evaluated. This is found to exceed a bound on A …

Analysis of electron emission from photocathodes, field emitters under extreme fields, or
thermionic emitters operated at reduced temperature, utilize thermionic (Richardson) or field …
