Self-consistent Maxwell-Pauli theory

We show that quantum mechanics can be constructed as a classical field theory that correctly describes all basic quantum effects. We construct the self-consistent Maxwell-Pauli theory, from which the correct spontaneous emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom follows. It is shown that many parameters, such as the spin and intrinsic magnetic moment of the electron, which are considered purely quantum properties of the electron and do not have a classical explanation, have a simple and clear physical meaning in the framework of the classical self-consistent Maxwell-Pauli theory.

Thermostatistics of classical fields

In this paper we develop the thermostatistics of the classical (continuous in space and time) fields. Assuming the thermodynamic equilibrium between the classical field and the thermal reservoir and the Gibbs statistics for the classical field, the probabilities of excitation of various modes of the classical field are determined. An artificial quantization of the classical field is considered, when the field energy is artificially divided into discrete portions - quanta with the same energy. The probability of excitation of a given number of quanta of a classical field is calculated. It is shown that if no restrictions are imposed on a classical field, then it obeys the Bose-Einstein statistics. If, however, an additional restriction is imposed on the amplitude of the classical field, it is described by a statistic analogous to the Fermi-Dirac statistics or the Gentile statistics, but does not coincide exactly with them.

Microwave-to-optical frequency conversion based on the Lamb shift

We consider the microwave-to-optical frequency conversion based on the Lamb shift, fine structure and forbidden transitions. The theory of such a conversion is developed and the efficiency of the microwave-to-optical frequency conversion is calculated. We show that the ratio of the peak power of the induced optical emission to the power of the incident microwave, for a hydrogen atom, can reach 1000000.

'Bosons' and 'fermions' in social and economic systems

We analyze social and economic systems with a hierarchical structure and show that for such systems, it is possible to construct thermostatistics, based on the intermediate Gentile statistics. We show that in social and economic hierarchical systems there are elements that obey the Fermi-Dirac statistics and can be called fermions, as well as elements that are approximately subject to Bose-Einstein statistics and can be called bosons. We derive the first and second laws of thermodynamics for the considered economic system and show that such concepts as temperature, pressure and financial potential (which is an analogue of the chemical potential in thermodynamics) that characterize the state of the economic system as a whole, can be introduced for economic systems.

"Quantum" key distribution using weak classical light waves

The detection of very weak classical electromagnetic (light) waves by classical macroscopic device is discussed. It is shown that the results of such detection can be interpreted as a manifestation of the quantum properties of radiation, although in reality they are related to the peculiarities of the interaction of weak classical electromagnetic waves with discrete atoms. We show that the "quantum" key distribution protocol can be realized using very weak classical light waves and avalanche detectors, and it possesses all the properties of the quantum cryptographic protocol E91 which based on entangled photons.

Nonlinear Schrodinger equation and classical-field description of the Lamb-Retherford experiment

I show that Lamb-Retherford experiment can be fully described within the framework of classical field theory without using concepts such as the discrete states of the atom and jump-like electron transitions between them. The rate of stimulated decay of the metastable state of a hydrogen atom in an external periodic electric field is determined. The dependence of this rate on the frequency and amplitude of the external electric field, as well as on the parameters of the atom, has been obtained. It is shown that the maximum value of the stimulated decay rate of the metastable state of a hydrogen atom is achieved at an external electric field frequency equal to the frequency shift corresponding to either the fine structure of the hydrogen atom or the Lamb shift.

Hamilton-Jacobi theory for Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian systems

A generalization of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory to arbitrary dynamical systems, including non-Hamiltonian ones, is considered. The generalized Hamilton-Jacobi theory is constructed as a theory of ensemble of identical systems moving in the configuration space and described by the continual equation of motion and the continuity equation. For Hamiltonian systems, the usual Hamilton-Jacobi equations naturally follow from this theory. The proposed formulation of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory, as the theory of ensemble, allows interpreting in a natural way the transition from quantum mechanics in the Schrodinger's form to classical mechanics.

Classical-field description of the quantum effects in the light-atom interaction

In this paper I show that light-atom interaction can be described using purely classical field theory without any quantization. In particular, atom excitation by light that accounts for damping due to spontaneous emission is fully described in the framework of classical field theory. I show that three well-known laws of the photoelectric effect can also be derived and that all of its basic properties can be described within classical field theory.

What does a violation of the Bell's inequality prove?

In this paper I show that the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm Gedankenexperiment and so-called entanglement of photons have a simple explanation within the framework of classical electrodynamics if we take into account the discrete (atomic) structure of the detectors and a specific nature of the light-atom interaction. In this case we do not find such a paradox as "spooky action at a distance". I show that CHSH criterion in EPRB Gedankenexperiment with classical light waves can exceed not only a maximum value S_HV=2 which is predicted by the local hidden-variable theories but also the maximum value S_QM=2.828 predicted by quantum mechanics and in this case there is no desire to construct a local hidden-variable theory.

Classical-field theory of thermal radiation

In this paper, using the viewpoint that quantum mechanics can be constructed as a classical field theory without any quantization I build a fully classical theory of thermal radiation. Planck's law for the spectral energy density of thermal radiation and the Einstein A-coefficient for spontaneous emission are derived in the framework of classical field theory without using the concept of "photon". It is shown that the spectral energy density of thermal radiation is apparently not a universal function of frequency, as follows from the Planck's law, but depends weakly on the nature of atoms, while Planck's law is valid only as an approximation in the limit of weak excitation of atoms.

Quantum mechanics without quanta

In this paper, I argue that light is a continuous classical electromagnetic wave, while the observed so-called quantum nature of the interaction of light with matter is connected to the discrete (atomic) structure of matter and to the specific nature of the light-atom interaction. From this point of view, the Born rule for light is derived, and the double-slit experiment is analysed in detail. I show that the double-slit experiment can be explained without using the concept of a "photon", solely on the basis of classical electrodynamics. I show that within this framework, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for a "photon" has a simple physical meaning not related to the fundamental limitations in accuracy of the simultaneous measurement of position and momentum or time and energy. I argue also that we can avoid the paradoxes connected with the wave-particle duality of the electron if we consider some classical wave field - an "electron wave" - instead of electrons as the particles and consider the wave equations (Dirac, Klein-Gordon, Pauli and Schrodinger) as the field equations similar to Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic field. It is shown that such an electron field must have an electric charge, an intrinsic angular momentum and an intrinsic magnetic moment continuously distributed in the space. It is shown that from this perspective, the double-slit experiment for "electrons", the Born rule, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the Compton effect all have a simple explanation within classical field theory. The proposed perspective allows consideration of quantum mechanics not as a theory of particles but as a classical field theory similar to Maxwell electrodynamics.

Quantum-Like Behavior of Nonlinear Classical Oscillator

We construct the classical dynamical system which has a quantum-like behavior. We have shown that the energy-time uncertainty relation takes place for the system and it has purely classical nature. We investigate the behavior of the system and discuss a "classical" explanation of Franck-Hertz experiments.

Classical harmonic oscillator with quantum energy spectrum

The classical dynamical system possessing a quantum spectrum of energy and "quantum" behavior is suggested and investigated. The proposed model can be considered as a dynamical variant of the old quantum theory for harmonic oscillator in which the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule is absent and "quantum-mechanical" properties are the result of system behavior itself. For this dynamical system the classical model of Franck-Hertz experiment which allows explaining the experimentally observed regularities is suggested and investigated. The examples of calculations of Franck-Hertz experiment of within the limits of the suggested model of classical dynamical system are presented.
