Transmission of a Single-Photon Through a Polarizing Filter: an Analysis Using Wave-Particle Non-Duality

Authors: N Gurappa

The inner-product, $<\psi|\psi>$, between a state vector, $|\psi>$ and its dual, $<\psi|$, is thoroughly analyzed using the recently developed `wave-particle non-dualistic interpretation of quantum mechanics'; here, $|\psi>$ is a solution of the Schrodinger wave equation. Using this analysis, ``questions about what decides whether a photon is to go through or not and how it changes its direction of polarization when it does go through a polarizing filter" - a statement by Prof. Dirac - is unambiguously explained.
