Bohmian Mechanics is Not Deterministic

چکیده

Abstract I argue that Bohmian mechanics (or any similar pilot-wave theory) cannot reasonably be claimed to a deterministic theory. If one assumes the “quantum equilibrium distribution” provided by wave function of universe, requires an external random oracle in order describe (Kolmogorov–Levin–Chaitin) algorithmic randomness properties typical outcome sequences long runs repeated identical experiments (which provably follow from Born rule). This lies beyond scope extension thereof), including impossibility explaining property question “random” initial conditions. Thus advantages over other interpretations quantum mechanics, if any, must lie at ontological level, and its potential derive distribution hence rule.

Bohmian Mechanics

Quantum Mechanics and Reality. While quantum mechanics, as presented in physics textbooks, provides us with a formalism, it does not attempt to provide a description of reality. The formalism is a set of rules for computing the probability distribution of the outcome of essentially any experiment (within the realm of quantum mechanics). A description of reality, in contrast, would tell us what ...

Connections with Bohmian Mechanics

OF THE DISSERTATION Connections with Bohmian Mechanics by James Oliver Taylor Dissertation Director: Sheldon Goldstein We begin by formulating non-relativistic Bohmian mechanics for theories in which the wave functions are sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a Riemannian manifold. We give geometric interpretations of the Pauli equation and the Dirac equation. We then explain the influenc...

Bohmian Mechanics Revisited

We consider the problem of whether there are deterministic theories describing the evolution of an individual physical system in terms of the definite trajectories of its constituent particles and which stay in the same relation to Quantum Mechanics as Bohmian Mechanics but which differ from the latter for what concerns the trajectories followed by the particles. Obviously, one has to impose on...

Lorentz-invariant Bohmian Mechanics

A derivation of the Bohm model, and some general comments about it, are given. A modification of the model which is formally local and Lorentz-invariant is introduced, and its properties studied for a simple experiment. 1. The Bohm model as a simple realistic quantum theory. Non-relativistic quantum mechanics, as it is presented in almost all textbooks , is a theory which is either incorrect or...
