Krausz&#039;&#039;&#039; is a researcher and Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa, known within materials science for work on deformation kinetics and fracture, and, later, for proposing a real-vector (&quot;noncomplex&quot;) reformulation of quantum mechanics. He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> In his mainstream career Krausz worked on the kinetics of deformation and fracture of solids. Independently of this, he and a co-author (K. Krausz) published a series of papers under the title &quot;Vector Theory of Noncomplex Quantum Mechanics&quot; in the journal &#039;&#039;Physics Essays&#039;&#039; beginning with volume 19, number 4 (December 2006), followed by a second part on the uncertainty principle.<br /> <br /> The papers argue that the standard formalism of quantum mechanics, which relies on complex-valued wave functions and the imaginary unit, can instead be expressed using real-valued vector state functions. Krausz proposes that quantities such as the probability density, probability current, and the uncertainty relation can be recovered in this real-vector framework, reproducing results equivalent to the conventional Heisenberg condition. He presents this as an alternative interpretation of quantum theory rather than as a change to its empirical predictions. The proposal lies outside the mainstream complex-Hilbert-space formulation of quantum mechanics and was published in an alternative-physics journal.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://physicsessays.org/browse-journal-2/category/76-issue-4-december-2006.html Physics Essays, Vol. 19 No. 4 (December 2006)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Krausz Alexander]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
