Query: A Signal Processing Model of Quantum Mechanics   This paper develops a deterministic model of quantum mechanics as an
accumulation-and-threshold process. The model arises from an analogy with
signal processing in wireless communications. Complex wavefunctions are
interpreted as expressing the amplitude and phase information of a modulated
carrier wave. Particle transmission events are modeled as the outcome of a
process of signal accumulation that occurs in an extra (non-spacetime)
dimension.
  Besides giving a natural interpretation of the wavefunction and the Born
rule, the model accommodates the collapse of the wave packet and other quantum
paradoxes such as EPR and the Ahanorov-Bohm effect. The model also gives a new
perspective on the 'relational' nature of quantum mechanics: that is, whether
the wave function of a physical system is "real" or simply reflects the
observer's partial knowledge of the system. We simulate the model for a 2-slit
experiment, and indicate possible deviations of the model's predictions from
conventional quantum mechanics. We also indicate how the theory may be extended
to a field theory.
