Experimental tests of hidden variable theories from dBB to Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
In this paper we present some of our experimental results on testing hidden variable theories, which range from Bell inequalities measurements to a conclusive test of stochastic electrodynamics.

Stochastic Electrodynamics: The Closest Classical Approximation to Quantum Theory [PDF]
Stochastic 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. Here we give a cursory overview of the basic ideas of stochastic electrodynamics, of the successes of the theory, and of its connections to ...

Simulation of the hydrogen ground state in Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
Stochastic 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]
I 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.

Disagreement between correlations of quantum mechanics and stochastic electrodynamics in the damped parametric oscillator [PDF]
Intracavity and external third order correlations in the damped nondegenerate parametric oscillator are calculated for quantum mechanics and stochastic electrodynamics (SED), a semiclassical theory. The two theories yield greatly different results, with the correlations of quantum mechanics being cubic in the system's nonlinear coupling constant and ...

The Role of Vacuum Fluctuations and Symmetry in the Hydrogen Atom in Quantum Mechanics and Stochastic Electrodynamics (SED) [PDF]
Stochastic 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 fluctuations of the electromagnetic field with classical mechanics.

De Broglie wave, spontaneous emission and Planck's radiation law according to stochastic electrodynamics [PDF]
The idea about a quantum nature of Planck's blackbody radiation law is deeply rooted in minds of most physicists. Einstein's work, in which the coefficients of spontaneous and induced emission were introduced, has always been regarded as a proof that quantum energy discreteness of an atom plays a crucial role in the derivation of this law. In our paper

On the Stability of Classical Orbits of the Hydrogen Ground State in Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
de la Pe\~na 1980 and Puthoff 1987 show that circular orbits in the hydrogen problem of Stochastic Electrodynamics are stable. Though the Cole-Zou 2003 simulations support the stability, our recent numerics always lead to self-ionisation.

Gibbs measures with double stochastic integrals on a path space [PDF]
We investigate Gibbs measures relative to Brownian motion in the case when the interaction energy is given by a double stochastic integral. In the case when the double stochastic integral is originating from the Pauli-Fierz model in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics, we prove the existence of its infinite volume limit.

Optomechanical sideband asymmetry explained by stochastic electrodynamics [PDF]
Within 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 ...
