Abstract
The goal of this paper is to reformulate the de Broglie-Bohm model of wave mechanics with applied electromagnetic fields. The Schroedinger and Klein-Gordon equations are separated into component equations for classical action and a linear self-interaction wave. The analysis indicates that the motion of a particle separates naturally into particle dynamics through the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation and wave behavior through a pilot of self-interaction wave. The self-interaction wave travels with the particle at the classical particle velocity. We study guauge invariance and interpret it in the light of the self-interaction wave. We also develop a novel quantum-mechanical, relativistic energy-momentum conservation equation using a complex quantum-mechanical, four vector. The analog to electromagnetic energy conservation is used to understand quantum interactions.Citation
