Using the quantum formalism, a question - ``Why particle ontology is unavoidable in quantum mechanics?'' - is analyzed. The frequently outspoken inference, ``particle appears to be fuzzy and spread out, i.e., they seem to be at multiple states at once'', is shown to be inconsistent with respect to quantum formalism.

In this M.Sc. Dissertation we have developed a formalism to obtain the solution of Schrödinger equation in a non-inertial frame. The frame is moving with an acceleration. The classical part of the formulation has been developed following Landau and Lifshitz [1] and obtained the single particle Hamiltonian. With the standard form of canonical quantization rule, we have setup the Schrödinger equation in non-inertial frame. See also the references [2–4] for some beautiful pedagogical discussion on non-inertial frame of reference. The physical situation of our study is basically the solution obtained by Fowler and Nordheim for the emission of electrons from cold metal surface under the action of strong electric field [7] known as cold field emission of electrons. However in the present formulation, it is the gravity, simulated by the acceleration acts on mass of the particle and causes emission. Hence we have got some flavor of Hawking radiation [8] and Unruh effect [9] within the limited scope of our non-relativistic approach.

It is argued that Bell's inequalities do not give a complete representation of EPR-Bell experiments. A full account, corresponding to local-realism, is given for the quantum mechanic correlation in EPR-Bell experiments. The relation between Bell's inequalities and QM's correlation in EPR-Bell experiments is explained.

Arguing that the orthodox quantum mechanics (QM) in its statistical interpretation is sufficient to plainly explain long distance correlations between entangled particles without resorting to exotic hypotheses such as nonlocality / “spooky actions” and the like. The critical element here is the recognition of a difference between languages and notions of classical mechanics (CM) and QM: QM is a statistical phenomenology, not describing individual particles, but rather their large congregations / collectives – quantum ensembles. In doing so, QM operates with complex valued distribution functions – wave functions (WFs) – built in a full compliance with conservation laws as a superposition of partial components explicitly preserving pertinent dynamics variables. Further, in contrast to a popular misconception an entanglement is to no extent an exotic phenomenon: on the contrary, it has been routinely emerging in QM’s almost centennial treatment of molecular, atomic, nuclear and elementary particle physics and never caused the need for a “supernatural” nonlocality. Relatedly, the very same CM-QM language incompatibility results in seemingly paradoxical features of a two-slit diffraction and similar experiments. Further, we discuss in some detail the distributional interpretation of wave functions and their superposition as well as “virtual” vs “real” notions in QM along with their manifestation in measuring processes. Finally, we address the genesis and evolution of wave-particle duality (WPD) and potential perspectives into its future developments.

A mathematical model for the slit-experiments — considered to be in the heart of quantum mechanics - is developed to gain insight in quantum theory. The proposed system-theoretical approach for the model takes a different route compared to matrix mechanics in complex vector spaces; it is based on commutative mathematics and starts with spacetime functions with cause and effect relations in the statefunction Ѱ. This approach yields: 1. Deterministic result functions and disappearance of probability in QM, 2. Information symmetry in QM causal relations , 3. Separation of causality and non-commuting (e.g. crosscorrelations of attained states) operators, 4. QM a priori fixed states after causality interactions have ended, as well in case quanta are (light-years) separated. The consequence of this model is that operators, such as cross correlations and vector cross products that cannot support information symmetry due to not being mathematically commutative,are in principal not suitable in causality descriptions on quantum level . The model predicts the exact patterns in the results of the experiments by yielding mathematical functions of the energy distributions. The quantum mechanical description of physical reality of slit experiments thus may be considered complete in the sense of [10], but requires the thought experiment of reality still, which is only seemingly contradictory with the exact results. At quantum slit-experiment energy level, assumed quantum interference in double slit experimentsis an effect of energy (amplitude-) modulation. For one-slit, a modulated function is shown to giveidentical results of a double-slit extended experiment, by yielding two distributions as result of theconvolution in the (k-space) frequency domain. This rules out interference due to the absence of multiple slits. In principle it may be possible to experimentally verify the effect with a modulated result function of a one slit experiment.The system-theoretical method uses generic properties of quanta and evolves into determinism in quantum mechanics slit experiments, be it with the restriction of a direct observation/measurementor direct description with variables of the individual quanta at the heart of the state-function Ѱ. The mathematics handles beables [9,10] and allows the proposed description by avoiding directly addressing of the individual quanta through variables. The mathematical treatment yields exact, non-probabilistic results.

The emergence of quantum mechanics in 1920s opened an intense discussion, which continues to these days, about its interpretation. This article aims to contribute to this discussion. First, a definition of ontic (really existing) and epistemic (pertaining to knowledge) states of a quantum system is proposed. Based on these definitions, the key concepts and postulates of quantum mechanics such as quantum state collapse, measurements and system properties, statistical inference, and key properties of quantum probability calculus are discussed. An alternative interpretation of degenerate ontic states is presented. The proposed ontological and epistemological framework for quantum mechanics is applied to explain Schrödinger’s cat paradox, to redefine quantum entanglement, to illustrate quantum entanglement based on the Bohm’s variant of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, and to substantiate the principle of local causality. This framework is further compared with the quantum histories approach, quantum information approach, and spontaneous collapse approach.

Hydrogen being the most common element in the universe is almost invisible in atomicform though it is common as a as minor contaminating component in most terrestrialcompounds. Atomic hydrogen and its isotopes are the only chemically active atomswhose valence electron is not screened from the nucleus. This unique property leadsto a rich spectroscopic behavior when weakly bonded to other molecules, surfaces, orembedded within solids. The spectra’s origin lie in rotational nuclear degrees of freedomthat become active when the atoms are polarization bonded to other structures. Freeneutral atomic hydrogen is difficult to detect by its 1420.4 MHz emission even in objectsas large as the local Virgo cluster of galaxies. Our surprise was in detecting intensesignals with an inexpensive receiver near 1420.4 MHz in the spectral band reserved forradio astronomy where broadcasting is forbidden. These signals behaved like emissionsfrom slightly perturbed 1S atomic hydrogen possessing rotational states with very smallenergy shifts. These signals are ubiquitous when there is any low level electromagneticnoise present.
