<p>Create biographical page for person listed in The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists (web-verified; red-link batch 9)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Infobox scientist<br /> | name = Edward R. Floyd<br /> | fields = Physics<br /> | known_for = Trajectory representation of quantum mechanics<br /> }}<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Edward R. Floyd&#039;&#039;&#039; is a physicist known for developing a &quot;trajectory representation&quot; (or trajectory interpretation) of quantum mechanics, an alternative to the Copenhagen and Bohmian interpretations. He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> Beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, Floyd published a series of papers proposing that quantum systems can be described by well-defined microstate trajectories derived from a reduced action, or &quot;quantum Hamilton–Jacobi,&quot; formulation. In &quot;A trajectory interpretation of transmission and reflection&quot; (&#039;&#039;Physics Essays&#039;&#039;, vol. 7, 1994) he applied the approach to tunnelling problems. He has argued that his trajectories, related to group velocities, differ from Bohmian trajectories and that the classical limit of the theory can involve a loss of information and a residual indeterminacy.<br /> <br /> Floyd has continued to publish on the foundations of quantum mechanics through arXiv preprints and journal articles, including a contribution to the volume &#039;&#039;Gravitation and Cosmology&#039;&#039; and commentary applying his framework to reported superluminal (OPERA) neutrino results. His interpretation remains outside the mainstream consensus on quantum foundations.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://arxiv.org/a/floyd_e_1 Edward R.
