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.

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.

Probability Calculations Within Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
Several stochastic situations in stochastic electrodynamics (SED) are analytically calculated from first principles. These situations include probability density functions, as well as correlation functions at multiple points of time and space, for the ...

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 ...

The Role of Vacuum Fluctuations and Symmetry in the Hydrogen Atom in Quantum Mechanics and Stochastic Electrodynamics [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 ...

On the Stability of Classical Orbits of the Hydrogen Ground State in Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
De 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.

Entropy Considerations in Stochastic Electrodynamics
The 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 ...

Electrostatic Interaction in Stochastic Electrodynamics [PDF]
Abstract In this paper, the expression of the electrostatic interaction force between two charged particles is derived in the framework of Stochastic Electrodynamics. The fundamental assumption is that the electrically charged particle can be modeled as a two-dimensional oscillator that scatters the classical zero point field background ...

Quantum electrodynamical formulation of photochemical acid generation and its implications on optical lithography [PDF]
The photochemical acid generation is refined from the first principles of quan-tum electrodynamics. First, we briefly review the formulation of the quantum theory of light based on the quantum electrodynamics framework to establish the probability of ...
