Geometric Origin of Quantization
For almost a century, quantum mechanics has remained one of the most successful physical theories. Nevertheless, its mathematical framework is built upon a system of postulates: the existence of the wave function, Planck’s constant, quantization rules, and other fundamental assumptions are accepted as primary facts. The work presented below attempts to view this problem from…
Foundations of Quantum Mechanics 1
It is known that QM (as well as QED and QFT) are based on a number of axioms. To understand the meaning of QM, we must attempt to remove the axioms from the foundations of QM. To do this, we need to find the missing pieces that were replaced by the axioms when QM was…
Two fundamental difficulties in 20th century physics and possible ways to overcome them beyond the axiomatic paradigm
1. The problem of modeling and physical completeness All mathematical constructions in physics are models based on axioms. This implies a fundamental limitation: any model is constructed by selecting a subset of degrees of freedom and interactions, while neglecting others. In classical physics, this limitation was explicitly acknowledged and controlled through approximation schemes. However, in…
