Circular Polarization and Quantum Spin: A Unified Real-Space Picture of Photons and Electrons
Alan M. Kadin
A classical circularly polarized electromagnetic wave carries angular momentum, and represents the classical limit of a photon, which carries quantized spin. It is shown that a ver…

Spin as the Basis for Quantum Mechanics: A New Semiclassical Model for Electron Spin
Alan M. Kadin
A simple real-space model for the free-electron wavefunction with spin is proposed, based on coherent vortices on the scale of h/mc, rotating at mc^2/h. This reproduces the proper…

Quantum Mechanics without Complex Numbers: A Simple Model for the Electron Wavefunction Including Spin
Alan M. Kadin
A simple real-space model for the electron wavefunction is suggested, based on a transverse wave with helicity, rotating at mc^2/h. The mapping of the real two-dimensional vector p…
