Does an electron emit EM radiation when it accelerates or when its energy changes?

Motion in a straight line (non-relativistic) is F = ma, the force changes the velocity and therefore increases the energy E = 1/2mv2. For motion in a circle, the centrifugal (centripetal if you...

How to convince an undergrad that a photon (or electron) in the twin slit experiment goes through both slits to intefere with itself?

Many QM text books say that because one can obtain interference patterns even when only one particle passes through the equipment at a time, this is proof of wave-like behaviour and that each...

Are there any researchers looking at non-wave theories, in particular particle descriptions of quantum effects?

I am particularly interested in liaising with people that are looking at quantum effects by looking at particle (say photon) interactions only, without resorting to wave behaviour. For example,...
