Application of Alpha‐oscillator theory to quantum electrodynamics (QED) solves the mystery (Feynman) of the double‐slit phenomenon involved in the foundation of quantum mechanics (QM). Even if with the same initial condition given, different spots on the screen can be predicted deterministically with no introduction of hidden variables. The interference pattern is similar to, but cannot be reproduced quantitatively by, that of the QM wave function, contrary to many‐years‐anticipation: a new prediction, awaiting experimental test over and above the Bohr–Einstein gedanken experiment. The general proof has already been published in Ref. [3a] and the concrete numerical algorithm of the extended normal mode technique for concrete trajectory of one electron in Ref. [3b]. In this article, (1) the new “interpretation” of the QED wave function is given in section “Interpretation of Wave Function in QED”: the QED wave function used in the extended normal mode technique gives probability density distribution function of the initial values of trajectories. Moreover, (2) for the sake of demonstration of this new interpretation, the time‐independent stationary state QM wave function is substituted to the QED wave function in section “Internal Self‐Stress of Energetic Particles”: the QED wave function is realized by internal self‐stress revealed as energy density at the initial conditions. The renewed energy density is applied to study a unified scheme for generalized chemical reactivity. This is a new kind of chemical force acting in between electrons not in between nuclei. This paves a way for more advanced time‐dependent simulation of electronic structure and dynamics in chemical reaction dynamics by tracing trajectories of many electrons. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
