Wave-particle dualism mechanism

Schrodinger and Bohm both accepted that quantum motion follows a wave pattern. To account for wave-particle dualism the interpretation of matrix mechanics, developed by Heisenberg and others, was extended on the assumption of probability densities. Schrodinger developed the notion of wave structures to simulate particle behaviour, but this model has been rejected almost universally and apparently irretrievably, in favour of proba-bities, arguably prematurely and for questionable reasons. Bohm s attempt to revive the wave interpretation advocated a literary interpretation of wave-particle dualism in the form of a classical particle accompanied and piloted by a quantum wave. 

With some linguistic precautions connected with the wave-particle dualism of quantum mechanics, the electron density g can be interpreted... 

From the view of classical mechanics a microscopic particle, e.g. an electron, cannot traverse a potential barrier which is higher than its kinetic energy. Using quantum mechanics, however, we know that this is possible due to the wave-particle dualism. The probability to find the electron on the other side of the barrier is not equal to zero if it impinges the barrier. The transmission coefficient T representing the ratio of transmitted and incident current is given by... 

If. The Dual Nature of Light. /The essential feature of quantum mechanics is the dualism of all the fundamental particles. At times these particles behave like forms of wave motion at other times they exhibit the ordinary properties of particles. Consider, for example, the photon. Although Einstein was forced to assume that the energy of a light wave was concentrated into corpuscles, his success in explaining the photoelectric effect in no way invalidated the old well-tested evidence that light is a form of wave motion. It is just as inconceivable that a stream of particles should show the phenomena of diffraction as that a wave should suddenly concentrate its energy at one point to knock an electron out of a surface. 

Thereby, the de Broglie hypothesis has been widely accepted as a scientific law. To reiterate, particle-wave dualism is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics.
