The Quantum Dice An Introduction to Stochastic Electrodynamics

The Quantum Dice An Introduction to Stochastic Electrodynamics / by Luis de la Peña, A.M. Cetto.

In spite of the impressive predictive power and strong mathematical structure of quantum mechanics, the theory has always suffered from important conceptual problems. Some of these have never been solved. Motivated by this state of affairs, a number of physicists have worked together for over thirty...
