Double-scale theory

Abstract: We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory, which expends on the de Broglie-Bohm (dBB) theory. It is based, for any quantum system, on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame : an external wavefunction and an internal one. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The external wave spreads out in space over time. Mathematically, the Schr\"odinger equation converges to the Hamilton-Jacobi statistical equations when the Planck constant tends towards zero and the Newton trajectories are therefore approximations of the dBB trajectories. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr\"odinger for whom the particle is extended. Then, the internal wave remains confined in space. Its converges, when h -> 0, to a Dirac distribution. Furthermore, we show that non-stationary solutions can exist such that the 3N-dimensional configuration space of the internal wave function can be rewritten as the product of N individual 3-dimensional internal wave functions.
