• Abstract: What is the quantum system? Consider the wavefunction of the electron, what we call single particle wave-function and assume that it contains N wave packets. If we pass all the wave packets through an electric field, all are deflected, as if each one of them contains an electron. However, if we bring any two wave packets to travel close to one another, they do not repel one another, as if at least one of them contains no charge. In trying to solve the measurement problem of the quantum mechanics (QM), different interpretations were proposed, each one coming with a particular ontology. However, only one interpretation paid explicit attention to the contradiction mentioned above. This interpretation was proposed by S. Gao who named it random discontinuous motion (RDM), because it assumes the existence of a particle that jumps from place to place at random. The particle carries all the physical properties of the respective type of particle, mass, charge, magnetic momentum, etc. It jumps under the control of a so called instantaneous condition about which Gao did not give details so far. Along with presenting problems of the QM that this interpretation solves, this text reveals difficulties vis-\`a-vis entanglements and the special relativity.

  We find that measurements cause quantum wave functions to collapse. By studying the overlooked phenomena of quantum wave function collapse, we find that quantum eigenstate sets may be artificially controlled. We propose an innovative method for direct information transmission utilizing photon wave function collapse and entanglement.

  We discuss the quantization of the quantum uncertainty as an operator acting on wave-functions over field space. We show how this spectrum appears in the value of the coupling of the effective conformal potential driving the evolution of extended Gaussian wave-packets. We conclude with an open question: is it possible to see experimental signatures of the quantization of the quantum uncertainty in non-relativistic physics?

We predict a novel kind of bound quantum state in the simplest one-dimensional setup of two interacting particles in a box.

  It is shown that the assumption that the wave function is a real wave entails a contradiction with the predictions of the quantum mechanics. The article concentrates on interpretations which conjecture that the reality that moves in our apparatuses is particles, and they move under the constraints of the wave function.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
