Abstract

The goal of this paper is an extension of the de Broglie wave mechanics model for a single spinless particle in an electromagnetic field. The analysis indicates that the motion of a particle separates naturally into particle dynamics through the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation and quantum wave behavior through a pilot or interaction wave equation. The interaction wave equation travels at the classical particle velocity. We study gauge invariance and interpret it in the light of the interaction wave. The Heisenberg uncertainty relations are shown to be implicit in the interaction wave. We also develop a complex quantum-mechanical, relativistic energy-momentum conservation expression using a complex quantum-mechanical four-vector.
