Stochastic Electrodynamics: The Closest Classical Approximation to Quantum Theory [PDF]
Atoms, 2019Stochastic electrodynamics is the classical electrodynamic theory of interacting point charges which includes random classical radiation with a Lorentz-invariant spectrum whose scale is set by Planck’s constant.

Simulation of the hydrogen ground state in Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
Physica Scripta 2015.T165 (2015): 014006, 2015Stochastic electrodynamics is a classical theory which assumes that the physical vacuum consists of classical stochastic fields with average energy $\frac{1}{2}\hbar \omega$ in each mode, i.e., the zero-point Planck spectrum. While this classical theory explains many quantum phenomena related to harmonic oscillator problems, hard results on nonlinear ...

On the analogy between stochastic electrodynamics and nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics [PDF]
Eur. Phys. J.Plus, (2022) 137, 1302, 2022I expose nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics in the Weyl-Wigner representation. Hence I prove that an approximation to first order in Planck constant has formal analogy with stochastic electrodynamics (SED), that is classical electrodynamics of charged particles immersed in a random radiation filling space.

The Role of Vacuum Fluctuations and Symmetry in the Hydrogen Atom in Quantum Mechanics and Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
Atoms, 2019Stochastic Electrodynamics (SED) has had success modeling black body radiation, the harmonic oscillator, the Casimir effect, van der Waals forces, diamagnetism, and uniform acceleration of electrodynamic systems using the stochastic zero-point ...

On the Stability of Classical Orbits of the Hydrogen Ground State in Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
Entropy, 2016De la Peña 1980 and Puthoff 1987 show that circular orbits in the hydrogen problem of Stochastic Electrodynamics connect to a stable situation, where the electron neither collapses onto the nucleus nor gets expelled from the atom.

Optomechanical sideband asymmetry explained by stochastic electrodynamics [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2022Within the framework of stochastic electrodynamics we derive the noise spectrum of a laser beam reflected from a suspended mirror. The electromagnetic field follows Maxwell's equations and is described by a deterministic part that accounts for the laser field and a stochastic part that accounts for thermal and zero-point background fluctuations ...

Entropy Considerations in Stochastic Electrodynamics
PhysicsThe use of entropy concepts in the field of stochastic electrodynamics is briefly reviewed here. Entropy calculations that have been fully carried out to date are discussed in two main cases: first, where electric dipole oscillators interact with zero ...

Stochastic Electrodynamics: Renormalized Noise in the Hydrogen Ground-State Problem [PDF]
Frontiers in Physics, 2020The hydrogen ground-state problem is a touchstone for the theory of Stochastic Electrodynamics. Recently, we have shown numerically and theoretically that the H-atom self-ionizes after a characteristic time.
