Einstein, Podolski and Rosen (EPR) have shown that any wave function (subject to the Schr\"odinger equation) can describe the physical reality completely, and any two observables associated to two non-commuting operators can have…

It is shown that `bipartite' wave functions can present a mathematical formalism of quantum theory for a single particle, in which the associated Schr\"{o}dinger's wave functions correspond to those `bipartite' wave functions of product…

The Schroedinger equation with the nonlinear term is derived by the natural generalization of the hydrodynamical model of quantum mechanics. The nonlinear term appears to be logically necessary because it enables explanation of the…

Since the discovery of quantum mechanics, the fact that the wavefunction is defined on the $3\mathbf{n}$-dimensional configuration space rather than on the $3$-dimensional space has seemed uncanny to many, including Schr\"odinger, Lorentz,…

It is shown that it is possible to measure the Schr\"odinger wave of a single quantum system. This provides a strong argument for associating physical reality with a quantum state of a single system in sharp contrast with the usual approach…

It is often claimed that the collapse of the wave function and Born's rule to interpret the square of the norm as a probability, have to be introduced as separate axioms in quantum mechanics besides the Schroedinger equation. Here we show…

In 1909, Einstein derived a formula for the mean square energy fluctuation in black-body radiation. This formula is the sum of a wave term and a particle term. In a key contribution to the 1925 Dreimaennerarbeit with Born and Heisenberg,…

The Schr\"odinger's wave function can naturally be realized as an 'instantaneous resonant spatial mode' in which quantum particle moves and hence the Born's rule is derived after identifying its origin. This realization facilitates the…

All measurable predictions of classical mechanics can be reproduced from a quantum-like interpretation of a nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The key observation leading to classical physics is the fact that a wave function that satisfies a…

A model for the motion of a charged particle in the vacuum is presented which, although purely classical in concept, yields Schrodinger's equation as a solution. It suggests that the origins of the peculiar and nonclassical features of…

According to symmetrization postulate for a system of identical particles, wave function has to be completely symmetric or completely anti-symmetric. In this paper we want to mathematically justify this postulate ignoring the spin part of…

Based on the assumption that the standard Schr\"odinger equation becomes gravitationally modified for massive macroscopic objects, two independent proposals has survived from the nineteen-eighties. The Schr\"odinger--Newton equation (1984)…

We consider the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation with a harmonic potential in the presence of two combined energy-subcritical power nonlinearities. We assume that the larger power is defocusing, and the smaller power is focusing. Such a…

It is argued that any operational measure of time is inseparably bound to the presence of a periodic process in some medium. Since, as first formulated by Einstein's (1905) equation for the energy, all "particles" (neutrons, electrons,…
