Classical Interpretation to Relatively Stable Physical Statistical Distributions

Very recently we present a theory to discuss the nature of light and show that the quantization of light energy in vacuum can be derived directly from classical electromagnetic theory. In the theory a key concept of stability of statistical distribution and a variational procedure searching for those of relatively stable statistical distributions were introduced. This is a classical interpretation to the concept and method concerned. It would be helpful for avoiding some of possible obsession from the variational procedure and its final quantum result.

A Note to Article "Quantization of Light Energy Directly from Classical Electromagnetic Theory in Vacuum"

Very recently we present a theory [Wei-long She, Chin. Phys. 14, 2514(2005); Online: http://www.jop.org/journals/cp; http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0512097] to show that the quantization of light energy in vacuum can be derived directly from classical electromagnetic theory through the consideration of statistics based on classical physics and reveal that the quantization of energy is an intrinsic property of light as a classical electromagnetic wave and has no need of being related to particles. In this theory a key concept of stability of statistical distribution was involved. Here is a note to the theory, which would be helpful for understanding the concept of stability of statistical distribution.

Quantization of Light Energy Directly from Classical Electromagnetic Theory in Vacuum

It is currently believed that light quantum or the quantization of light energy is beyond classical physics and the picture of wave-particle duality, which was criticized by Einstein but attracted a number of experimental researches, is necessary for the description of light. We show in this paper, however, that the quantization of light energy in vacuum, which is the same as that in quantum electrodynamics, can be derived directly from the classical electromagnetic theory through the consideration of statistics based on classical physics. Therefore, the quantization of energy is an intrinsic property of light as a classical electromagnetic wave and has no need of being related to particles.
