Abstract:

Existing experiments do not disprove local realistic quantum theories. To overcome logical difficulties of the standard quantum theory, a nondeterministic irreversible local realistic theory was proposed, in which the wave-particle duality is objective in contrast to the complementarity principle. The statistical characteristics of these two theories can be distinguished by a proposed experiment within presently available technology. 03.65.Bz(found), 03.75.-b(m.w), 05.30.-d(q.sm), 05.40.+j(fluct)
