Particle Creation as the Quantum Condition for Probabilistic Events to Occur
Physics Letters A 187 (2 May 1994):351-355 (1994)
Abstract
A new version of quantum theory is proposed, according to which probabilistic events occur whenever new statioinary or bound states are created as a result of inelastic collisions. The new theory recovers the experimental success of orthodox quantum theory, but differs form the orthodox theory for as yet unperformed experiments.Author's Profile
