Incompatibility of the de Broglie-Bohm Theory with Quantum Mechanics
It is shown that although the de Broglie-Bohm quantum theory of motion is equivalent to standard quantum mechanics when averages of dynamical variables are taken over a Gibbs ensemble of Bohmian trajectories, the equivalence breaks down for ensembles built over clearly separated short intervals of time in special multi-particle systems. This feature is exploited to propose a realistic experimen...
متن کاملDe Broglie-Bohm Pilot-Wave Theory: Many Worlds in Denial?
We reply to claims (by Deutsch, Zeh, Brown and Wallace) that the pilot-wave theory of de Broglie and Bohm is really a many-worlds theory with a superfluous configuration appended to one of the worlds. Assuming that pilot-wave theory does contain an ontological pilot wave (a complex-valued field in configuration space), we show that such claims arise from not interpreting pilot-wave theory on it...
متن کاملRemarks on identical particles in de Broglie–Bohm theory
It is argued that the topological approach to the (anti-)symmetrisation condition for the quantum state of a collection of identical particles, defined in the ‘reduced’ configuration space, is particularly natural from the perspective of de Broglie–Bohm pilot-wave theory.

متن کاملDensity Relaxation in de Broglie–Bohm Mechanics
A Lagrangian analysis explains the numerical results of Valentini and Westman (2005) which demonstrate that an initially arbitrary particle density, stirred by the field of de Broglie velocities associated with a Schrödinger wave function, relaxes to the Born probability density provided both densities are coarse–grained.

متن کاملIs the electron’s charge 2e? A problem of the de Broglie-Bohm theory
It is shown that the de Broglie-Bohm theory has a potential problem concerning the charge distribution of a quantum system such as an electron. According to the guidance equation of the theory, the electron’s charge is localized in a position where its Bohmian particle is. But according to the Schrödinger equation of the theory, the electron’s charge is not localized in one position but distrib...
