- Title
The complex quantum potential and wave-particle duality.
- Authors
Bracken, Paul
- Abstract
The equation of motion for a particle moving in complex space is obtained and then solved. The interaction between the real and imaginary components of motion can produce what can be regarded as a wave motion in real space. The formation of interference patterns and polarization of a matter wave can be accounted for by the particle's motion in complex space. The deterministic particle view of a free particle can then be reconciled with its dual probabilistic wave picture but the formulation is entirely in complex space.
