Quantum optics without quantum paradoxes — •Falk Rühl — Auf der Alm 14, 52159 Roetgen, Germany
A transition from the directed one./.one interaction model, mediated by quanta, to a symmetrical any./.any interaction model, mediated by EM-waves propagating in R3, allows a paradox-free explanation of all effects observed in quantum optical experiments.
In a detection model based on an any./.any interpretation, the total energies of weakly bound electrons in a detector are driven to a continuous random walk, by the local superposition of the EM-fields of all sources of radiation. In the rare instance, where a random walk approaches the binding energy, even extremely weak superadded pulses of EM-radiation, e.g. received from distant sources under investigation, can trigger an event-like release of an electron, that carries the binding energy. Suitably scaled, the count rate r(a), as a function of the power a≥ 0, absorbed from the source illumination, has the asymptotic linear branches r(a)≥max{0,a+d−1}, that are connected by a smooth transition in the "tunnel regime" around d+a=1. The absorption of amplitude-/phase-modulated radiation is resonantly enhanced only, if the radiation drives closed cycles in the rotating frames of the detecting oscillators, which makes only a small subset of the continuously evolving and radiating "beable" states of sources also "observable".
The "late quantization", the result of a resonant radiation./.target interaction, eliminates "quantum jumps", and all quantum transport paradoxes, that have their roots in the futile attempt to base the interpretation on an "early quantization" of the sources.
