Abstract

The nodes where the wave function changes sign in conventional quantum theory can alternatively be regarded as places where the wave function descends to zero but rises again without changing its sign. This behavior is accomplished by adding delta function barriers to the potential energy wherever a node occurs in the wave function. This model is supported by the recognition that the wave functions of a subsystem, which is not truly isolated, are really marginal amplitudes which implicitly average out interactions of the system with its environment. The finite effect of these interactions is to replace the delta function barriers by barriers of finite width and height.
