The Origin of Wave-Particle Duality of Matter Revealed

Authors: Swapnil Patil

The wave-particle duality is one of the most remarkable concepts in physics ever discovered. It is a central pillar upon which the entire theory of quantum mechanics is based. However the origin of the wave-particle duality is unrevealed yet and is generally taken as a postulate representing a fundamental fact of nature. Here we disclose the origin of this remarkable fact of nature. We show that the introduction of (fermionic or bosonic) exchange symmetry for the state describing a group of particles of matter would naturally lead those particles to demonstrate wave-like character from particle-like character. Thus the existence of (fermionic or bosonic) exchange symmetry among the particles of matter is absolutely necessary for their wave character to manifest thus shedding light on the microscopic origin of the peculiar quantum behavior of matter.

Comments: Total 21 pages incl. suppl. info. This replacement adds a new section E to the supp. info. which argues for the exchange mechanism among identical particles to be a case of 5th fundamental interaction in nature
