Abstract: The Dirac delta function potential is considered within the real Hilbert space approach for complex wave functions, as well as quaternionic wave functions. As has been previously determined, the real Hilbert space approach enables the possibility of self-interacting physical systems. The self-interaction precludes confining states, and also imposes non-stationary quantum states, both of them representing novel situations that cannot be observed in terms of quantum wave functions. These results remark the differences between quaternionic quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm H$QM) and complex quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm C$QM), and also establish a method of solving the wave equation that may be applied to a variety of different cases.

Quantizing the Quantum Uncertainty [0.0]
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?

Double-scale theory [77.34726150561087]
We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory. It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

External and internal wave functions: de Broglie's double-solution theory? [77.34726150561087]
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.
