Conventional scattering theory is incomplete in that it does not adequately describe the behaviour of the wave function at macroscopic distances from the scattering reaction volume. In scattering experiments particles are incident from…

A theory of quantum jumps is developed by using a new asymmetric equation, which is complementary to the Schr\"odinger equation. The new equation displays Bohr's rules for quantum jumps, and its solutions demonstrate that once a quantum…
It is known that Lorentz covariance fixes uniquely the current and the associated guidance law in the trajectory interpretation of quantum mechanics for spin-1/2 particles. In the nonrelativistic domain this implies a guidance law for…
