The Concept of a Field

Authors: Jean Louis Van Belle

This paper explores the common concept of a field and the quantization of fields. We do so by discussing the quantization of traveling fields using our photon model, and we also look at the quantization of fields in the context of a perpetual ring current in a superconductor. We then relate the discussion to the use of the (scalar and vector) potential in quantum physics and, finally, a brief discussion of Schrödinger’s wave equation which, we argue, just models the equations of motion of charged particles in static and/or dynamic electromagnetic fields – just what Dirac was looking for. We argue that the idea that Schrödinger’s equation may not be relativistically correct is based on an erroneous interpretation of the concept of the effective mass of an electron.
