Wave-Particle Duality is a 1992 volume edited by the Italian physicist Franco Selleri, published by Plenum Press. It collects reviews of contemporary research on the foundations of quantum physics, and appeared to coincide with the centenary of Louis de Broglie's birth (1892).
Overview
The book gathers analyses of the wave-particle problem and of key experimental data bearing on it, including contributions on electron interferometry (Hasselbach), neutron interferometry (Rauch), and the Aharonov-Bohm effect (Tonomura). It reflects Selleri's long-standing interest in realist interpretations of quantum theory and in the tension between the wave and particle pictures.
About the author
Franco Selleri (1936–2013) was an Italian theoretical physicist and professor at the University of Bari. He published more than 200 papers on particle physics, the foundations of quantum mechanics, and relativity, and was known for defending local-realist interpretations of quantum theory (via stronger forms of Bell's inequalities) and for neo-Lorentzian critiques of special relativity such as his "inertial transformations."
