In a step by step procedure we show that all current models of interference are essentially non-local and demonstrate that the treatment of the quantum theory of motion is the simplest model for the scalar problem. In particular we give a novel interpretation of the quantum potential Q, which should be regarded as a non-classical and essentially statistical term describing the changes of the quantum ensemble due to a change of the physical environment.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-09-02T09:35:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "scalar problem", "interference", "two-slit interferometer measurements", "current models", "novel interpretation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 506555, "adsabs": "1999quant.ph..9009H" } } }
