AN APPROACH TO UNIFYING CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS
The foundations of quantum mechanics (QM) can find a consistent and exhaustive explanation in a new theoretical context. The "Approach" allows us to justify both classical and quantum electromagnetic phenomenology by using classical concepts. In this paper we review the bases of the attempt originating form the role that the transverse component of the Poynting vector plays in localising energy in the neighbourhood of an electromagnetic source and we analyse the quantum implications.
