I. Introduction

Natural Quantum Theory (NQT) does not negate the mathematical achievements of quantum mechanics, but rather constitutes a comprehensive correction of misinterpretations in quantum theory.It restores the continuous field picture and causal ontology of light, electricity, and matter, thereby naturally explaining numerous experimental facts misunderstood or obscured by Instrumental Quantum Theory.

Instrumental Quantum Theory (IQT) can only provide calculation formulas but fails to offer a coherent physical picture. Existing experimental results either cannot be explained (Zeno and anti-Zeno effects, level splitting, forbidden transitions), or receive contradictory explanations (Mössbauer effect) or incorrect explanations (quantum entanglement, electron scattering experiments).

In contrast, NQT not only achieves quantitative consistency but also qualitatively clarifies the underlying physical mechanisms.

The following lists the main known experimental phenomena supporting NQT.

II. Quantum Correlation and Entanglement Experiments

1. Reinterpretation of Entangled Photon Experiments

Phenomena:Bell inequality experiments, Hong–Ou–Mandel effect, SPDC two-photon interference.

IQT Interpretation:Nonlocal entanglement and "instantaneous correlation" exist between photons.

NQT Interpretation:These experiments do not measure "entangled photons" but self-consistently formed correlations under global conditions.There is no interaction between photons, nor are there "entangled photons"—only a global electromagnetic wave distribution.

Verification Points:

• Non-entangled photons can also violate Bell inequalities under specific conditions (experimentally verified).

• The disappearance of "entanglement" is strictly related to the field coherence length, not spatial distance.

• Correlation requires time to establish; interrupting the establishment process eliminates observable correlation.

Conclusion:Entangled photons do not exist, and the so-called "nonlocality" is a misinterpretation of the global light field distribution.

III. Level Splitting and Spectral Structure

2. Level Splitting

Experimental Facts and the Recursive Paradox of SplittingExperimental Phenomena:The Zeeman effect, hyperfine structure, atomic clock frequency splitting, and sodium D-line doublet all exhibit stable, discrete level-split spectral lines. The relative intensities and frequencies of these lines remain constant over long time scales, showing no time evolution, nor has spontaneous transition of electrons between split levels been observed.

IQT Dilemma:The traditional interpretation assumes splitting occurs within individual atoms, with external fields causing "one atomic energy level to split into multiple." However, this picture leads to two major contradictions:

• Thermodynamic Violation: If lower-energy sub-states exist, electrons should spontaneously transition to the lowest state, but no such process has been observed experimentally.

• Recursive Paradox: If energy levels can split due to external fields, electron rearrangement will trigger re-splitting of the Hamiltonian, leading to infinite recursion—yet experiments observe stable, finite splitting.

Additionally, both atomic clock and spectral experiments show that populations of split sub-states are frozen, with no energy exchange between levels. This contradicts the "single-atom level rearrangement" theory.

NQT Interpretation:NQT argues that the so-called "level splitting" is not the restructuring of energy levels within individual atoms, but the statistical manifestation of energy separation between atoms with different quantum configurations (distinct m_J values) under external fields.Each atom retains its own quantum configuration without spontaneous transformation; external fields only amplify or generate (in the case of degenerate levels) configuration energy differences, making atoms with different configurations appear as multiple split lines in the spectrum.

Within this framework, the termination and stability of level splitting originate from the resonant frequency-locking effect:

• Orbit-spin coupling forms natural frequency-locking points in external fields.

• When frequencies reach stable resonance, the system no longer responds to external field-induced splitting.

• The finiteness of splitting reflects the self-consistency and topological stability of atomic field modes.

Conclusion:Level splitting experiments strongly support NQT’s core positions:

• Energy levels are not monadic realities but energy representations of quantum configurations.

• Splitting is not the "fission" of internal atomic structure but the statistical separation of macroscopic atomic ensembles.

• The energy state of electrons is jointly locked by resonance and conservation laws, rather than the instantaneous collapse of probability clouds.

IV. Time Evolution and the Role of Observation

3. Quantum Zeno and Anti-Zeno Effects

In frequently measured quantum systems, evolution can be significantly suppressed (Zeno effect) or accelerated under certain conditions (anti-Zeno effect). The former was first verified by Itano et al. in ion experiments, while the latter was observed by Fischer et al. in ultracold atom tunneling experiments. These two phenomena are difficult to unify within a single theoretical framework: if frequent measurements suppress evolution, why do they sometimes accelerate it? If measurements always cause collapse, why has particle decay in cloud chambers never been delayed?

IQT Dilemma:The Copenhagen interpretation holds that measurements cause "wave function collapse," but this explanation faces fundamental contradictions:

• Measurement Duality: The same measurement operation can both "freeze" the system and "accelerate" evolution, indicating that the concept of "collapse" lacks a consistent physical mechanism.

• Ambiguous Measurement Boundary: In reality, continuous measurement devices such as cloud chambers and detectors do not induce any Zeno effect, violating theoretical expectations.

• Macroscopic Stability Paradox: If frequent measurements can suppress changes, the macroscopic world should have long been frozen—which is clearly not the case.

These facts demonstrate that the traditional interpretation of "observation-induced collapse" is formally self-consistent but physically vacuous.

NQT Interpretation:NQT posits that measurement is not an external "collapse" but a process in which the system and measurement device form a new global quantum structure (overall Hamiltonian system).

• When the measurement frequency resonates with the system's characteristic frequency, the system enters a new stable eigenstate, and evolution is suppressed (Zeno effect).

• When measurement introduces new energy channels or disrupts the original resonant structure, system decay is accelerated (anti-Zeno effect).

• Macroscopic detection such as cloud chambers only induces incoherent, non-resonant local interactions, which do not constitute "global restructuring" of the state and thus do not alter quantum evolution.

In other words, both Zeno and anti-Zeno effects are natural consequences of global interactions redefining the system’s boundary conditions. Measurement does not "freeze reality" but reshapes the energy modes in which the system can evolve.

Conclusion:The existence of the Zeno effect and its anti-effect strongly supports NQT’s core view:

• Measurement is not a process of consciousness or collapse, but a physical process in which system-environment interactions form new global modes.

• IQT cannot unify the Zeno and anti-Zeno effects, while NQT naturally explains their coexistence without invoking the "collapse" hypothesis.

V. Particle Scale and Electromagnetic Structure

4. Electron–Photon Scattering Experiments

Phenomena:Compton scattering, Mott scattering, electron imaging experiments.

IQT Assumption:Electrons are point particles, and magnetic moment is an "intrinsic" property.

Experimental Results and NQT Interpretation:Scattering angle distribution, coherent cyclotron radius, and other results indicate:Electrons have spatial extension on the order of the Compton wavelength, and magnetic moment originates from rotating charge distribution.

Conclusion:Electrons are not points but finite-size rotating field structures.

VI. Temporal Characteristics of Radiation and Field Processes

5. Mössbauer Effect

Phenomenon:Low-energy γ-rays can be collectively absorbed by the lattice (recoilless), while high-energy γ-rays cannot.

IQT Interpretation:Energy is released instantaneously and absorbed "instantly" by the lattice.

NQT Interpretation:Emission is the release of field energy over a finite time.Low-energy emission has a longer duration, allowing the lattice to collectively absorb the recoil.High-energy emission is too fast for the lattice to respond, confining recoil to individual atoms.

Corroboration:No Mössbauer effect is observed in high-energy γ-decay, indicating that emission is not an instantaneous quantum jump but a time-resolvable process.

VII. Energy Transitions and Radiation Structure

6. The Existence of Forbidden Transitions

Phenomenon:"Forbidden" transitions still occur in environments such as rarefied celestial bodies.

IQT Dilemma:Completely forbidden under the photon model (Δl rule); requires higher-order corrections.

NQT Interpretation:Forbidden transitions are higher-order electromagnetic radiation processes, which are classically allowed.Low-energy light is electromagnetic waves, capable of undergoing higher-order electromagnetic radiation.

Conclusion:The existence of forbidden transitions indicates that light is not a particle-like instantaneous interaction.

VIII. Particle Size and Neutrino Scale

7. Neutrino Experiments

Phenomena:Neutrino oscillation and weak interaction cross-section measurements.

NQT Interpretation:Experiments show that neutrinos have a finite spatial scale (non-point-like), consistent with NQT’s predictions.Their weak interaction is magnetically modulated coupling, not a purely mathematical weak charge.

Conclusion:Neutrinos are not massless points but extremely weak magnetic structure fields.

X. Conclusion

What NQT reveals is not novel "quantum phenomena,"but the restoration of coherent physical pictures and causal mechanisms to these experiments.

IQT is formally successful because it correctly employs mathematical tools;it is philosophically unsuccessful because it misinterprets the physical meaning of these tools.

From forbidden transitions to the Mössbauer effect, from the Zeno effect to spectral splitting—every phenomenon that seems like a "quantum miracle"is restored in NQT to a continuous, local, and intelligible field process.

Scientific progress lies not in creating deeper mysteries, but in dispelling false ones.NQT restores physics to being physics—making nature intelligible.
