The Photon Concept and the Physics of Quantum Absorption Process

Abstract

The status of the photon in the modern physics was analysed. Within the frames of the Standard Model of particle physics the photon is considered to be the genuine elementary particle, being to be the messenger of the electromagnetic interaction to which are subject charged particles. In contrast, the experts in quantum electodynamics (in particular, in quantum optics) insist, that the description of an photon to be the particle is impossible. The given viewpoint was carefully analysed and its falseness was proved. The expression for a photon wave function is presented. So, the status of the photon in quantum electodynamics was restored. The physics of a quantum absorption process is analysed. It is argued in accordance with Dirac guess, that the photon revival takes place by its absorption. Being to be a soliton, it seems to be keeping safe after an energy absorption in a pinned state, possessing the only by spin. It is shown, that the time of the transfer of absorbing systems in an excited state is finite and moreover, that it can govern the stationary signal registered. The given result is significant for the all stationary spectroscopy, in which at present the transfer of absorbing systems in an excited state is considered to be instantaneous.

To Principles of Quantum Mechanics Development

“…It seems to be correct, however the phenomenon of the interference is fine and subtle phenomenon. Before discusing the results of [35], we represent the comment, concerning the given phenomenon, which is given in [33]. Please, the quotations from the given work: "There were revealed very interesting properties of the light flux in the experiments on the interference and diffracion of light described in [36].…”

“…The given conclusion is concerned of the development of the quantum theory in the direction of the spectroscopic transitions with finite time of transition processes themselves, taking into account of which has allowed recently to explain rather unusual spectroscopic resonance absorption characteristics in carbon nanotubes and in superconducting ceramics [33].…”

“…Please, Schrödinger's own comment to the name both for differential equation for function |Ψ(q 1 , q 2 , ..., q N , t)| 2 and for the function Ψ(q 1 , q 2 , ..., q N , t) itself. In the fourth (last) part of the series of works "Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem" Schrödinger writes [18]: "Wenn wir also Gleichung (1) oder (1') [that is, in the modern terminology for both the stationary Schrödinger equation, given by (26) (see further), and the nonstationary Schrödinger equation, the dependence of Ψ(q 1 , q 2 , ..., q N , t) on a time in which is determined by (33) (see further), we wish to remark, that the only given equations are used in the modern nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in the linear case] gelegentlich als Wellengleichung bezeichnet haben, so geschah das eigentlich zu Unrecht, sie wäre richtiger als "Schwingungs-" oder "Amplituden"-gleichung zu bezeichnen. Wir fanden aber mit ihr das Auslangen, weil ja an diese das Sturm-Liouvillesche Eigenwertproblem sich knüpft -ganz ebenso wie bei dem mathematisch völlig analogen Problem der freien Scbwingungen von Saiten und Membranen -und nicbt an die eigentliche Wellengleichung".…”

“…By the way just in the given work Dirac indicates, that the transitions of the quantum system from one state to another, in particular, from an equilibrium state to an excited state are not instantaneous and that part of the time, related to a duration of stay between the states can be determined theoretically. The given conclusion is concerned of the development of the quantum theory in the direction of the spectroscopic transitions with finite time of transition processes themselves, taking into account of which has allowed recently to explain rather unusual spectroscopic resonance absorption characteristics in carbon nanotubes and in superconducting ceramics [33].…”
