The harmonic oscillator in stochastic electrodynamics

Il Nuovo Cimento B Series 11, 1974
Classical electrodynamics with the hypothesis of a universal, Lorentz invariant, background radiation (stochastic electrodynamics) has been proposed as a possible alternative to quantum electrodynamics. The stochastic equations of motion of a charged particle are derived according to this theory, and they are compared with those of Brownian motion.

Stochastic Electrodynamics an Overview

1983
As a sequel to the absorber theory of radiation of Wheeler and Feynman,1 Braffort and Tzara2 postulated the existence of a universal random electromagnetic field at the absolute zero of temperature—the zero-point field.

Spontaneous emission and stochastic electrodynamics

Lettere al Nuovo Cimento, 1984
Einstein's spontaneous emission is considered as the emission induced by the zero point field of stochastic electrodynamics. Using this concept the transition probability per unit time is calculated.

The spin of the electron according to stochastic electrodynamics

Foundations of Physics, 1982
By making use of the method of moments we study some aspects of the statistical behavior of the nonrelativistic harmonic oscillator according to stochastic electrodynamics. We show that the random rotations induced on the particle by the zero-point field account for the magnitude of the spin of the electron, the result differing from the correct one(3 ...

Quantum Theory and Linear Stochastic Electrodynamics

Foundations of Physics, 2001
We discuss the main results of Linear Stochastic Electrodynamics, starting from a reformulation of its basic assumptions. This theory shares with Stochastic Electrodynamics the core assumption that quantization comes about from the permanent interaction between matter and the vacuum radiation field, but it departs from it when it comes to considering ...

The Kepler Problem In Stochastic Electrodynamics

1980
Stochastic electrodynamics is the Brownian motion of a charged particle in a random electromagnetic field with spectrum proportional to kω3 coth(kω/2kT). If the deterministic force field is simple harmonic, the properties of the system resemble closely those of the quantum-mechanical oscillator, but the extension to non-linear systems has proved to be ...

Stochastic electrodynamics. I. On the stochastic zero-point field

Foundations of Physics, 1983
This is the first in a series of papers that present a new classical statistical treatment of the system of a charged harmonic oscillator (HO) immersed in an omnipresent stochastic zero-point (ZP) electromagnetic radiation field. This paper establishes the Gaussian statistical properties of this ZP field using Bourret's postulate that all statistical ...

A Brief Survey of Stochastic Electrodynamics

1980
Stochastic electrodynamics and random electrodynamics are the names given to a particular version of classical electrodynamics. This purely classical theory is Lorentz’s classical electron theory(1) into which one introduces random electromagnetic radiation (classical zero-point radiation) as the boundary condition giving the homogeneous solution of ...

Stochastic Electrodynamics and the Bell Inequalities

1985
The basic ideas of stochastic electrodynamics are presented. In the light of these ideas, some general differences between quantum mechanics and local realistic theories are pointed out. The atomic-cascade experimental tests of Bell’s inequalities are analyzed and a loophole is reported in the refutation of local realism due to an incorrect ...
