Dirac canonical idea as an alternative to the approach of Bohr. A toy model

TL;DR

This paper explores Dirac's canonical idea as an alternative framework to Bohr's approach, proposing a toy model that revisits quantum object nature and suggests new foundational intuitions inspired by topological defects.

Contribution

It introduces a toy model based on Dirac's canonical idea, offering a novel perspective on quantum objects and their classical-quantum transition.

Findings

Topological defects in solids as quantum analogs

Revisiting quantum object nature with Dirac's approach

Proposing new foundational intuitions for quantum physics

Abstract

Classical objects have been excluded as subjects of the observed quantum properties, and the related problem of quantum objects nature has been suspended since the early days of Quantum Theory. Recent experiments show that the problem could be reasonably revisited. The outlined model indicates new issues, which could result from following and exploring the canonical idea of Dirac. Topological defects in solids are considered as an example. The aim is helping to grasp the underlying pre-theoretical new intuitions, which should replace the old ones attached to the background of classical physics.
