Highlights the role of the transverse Poynting vector in energy localization

Analyzes quantum implications of the Bridge Theory

Abstract

The foundations of QM can find a consistent and exhaustive explanation in a new theoretical context. The Bridge Theory (BT) allows us to justify both classic and quantum electromagnetic phenomenology by using classical concepts. In this paper we review the bases of the BT originating from the role that the transverse component of the Poynting vector plays in localising energy in the neighbourhood of an electromagnetic source and we analyse the quantum implications.
