In this monograph, the authors present their recently developed
theory of electromagnetic interactions. This neoclassical
approach extends the classical electromagnetic theory down to
atomic scales and allows the explanation of various non-classical
phenomena in the same framework.

While the classical Maxwell–Lorentz electromagnetism theory
succeeds in describing the physical reality at macroscopic
scales, it struggles at atomic scales. Here, quantum mechanics
traditionally takes over to describe non-classical phenomena such
as the hydrogen spectrum and de Broglie waves. By means of
modifying the classical theory, the approach presented here is
able to consistently explain quantum-mechanical effects, and
while similar to quantum mechanics in some respects, this
neoclassical theory also differs markedly from it. In particular,
the newly developed framework omits probabilistic interpretations
of the wave function and features a new fundamental spatial scale
which, at the size of the free electron, is much larger than the
classical electron radius and is relevant to plasmonics and
emission physics.

This book will appeal to researchers interested in advanced
aspects of electromagnetic theory. Treating the classical
approach in detail, including non-relativistic aspects and the
Lagrangian framework, and comparing the neoclassical theory with
quantum mechanics and the de Broglie–Bohm theory, this work is
completely self-contained.
