Differences between the trajectory representation and Copenhagen regarding the past and present in quantum theory
Edward R. Floyd
We examine certain pasts and presents in the classically forbidden region. We show that for a given past the trajectory representation does not permit some presents while the Copen…

Using Rigorous Ray Tracing to Incorporate Reflection into the Parabolic Approximation
Edward R. Floyd
We present a parabolic approximation that incorporates reflection. With this approximation, there is no need to solve the parabolic equation for a coupled pair of solutions consist…

Where and why the generalized Hamilton-Jacobi representation describes microstates of the Schrödinger wave function
Edward R. Floyd
A generalized Hamilton-Jacobi representation describes microstates of the Schrödinger wave function for bound states. At the very points that boundary values are applied to the bou…
