Solving the Measurement Problem: De Broglie–Bohm Loses Out to Everett
“If the quantum theory is to be able to provide a complete description of everything that can happen in the world . . . it should also be able to describe the process of observation itself in terms of the wave functions of the observing apparatus and those of the system under observation. Furthermore, in principle, it ought to be able to describe the human investigator as he looks at the observ...
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. PACS numbers: 03.65.Ca, 03.65.Ta Submitted to: J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. de ...
متن کاملThe density matrix in the de Broglie-Bohm approach
If the density matrix is treated as an objective description of individual systems, it may become possible to attribute the same objective significance to statistical mechanical properties, such as entropy or temperature, as to properties such as mass or energy. It is shown that the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum theory can be consistently applied to density matrices as a description...
متن کاملIncompatibility 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 کاملThe de Broglie-Bohm Interpretation of Evaporating Black-Holes
In this work we apply the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics to the quantized spherically symmetric black-hole coupled to a massless scalar field. The wave-functional used was first obtained by Tomimatsu using the standard ADM quantization and a gauge that places the observer close to the black-hole horizon. Using the causal interpretation, we compute quantum trajectories deter...
