Interference, reduced action, and trajectories
Edward R. Floyd
abstract: Instead of investigating the interference between two stationary, rectilinear
wave functions in a trajectory representation by examining the two rectilinear
wave functions individually, we examine a dichromatic wave function that is
synthesized from the two interfering wave functions. The physics of
interference is contained in the reduced action for the dichromatic wave
function. As this reduced action is a generator of the motion for the
dichromatic wave function, it determines the dichromatic wave function's
trajectory. The quantum effective mass renders insight into the behavior of the
trajectory. The trajectory in turn renders insight into quantum nonlocality.
