Structuralist approaches to Bohmian mechanics

چکیده
Abstract Lam and Esfeld have argued that, within Bohmian mechanics, the wave function can be interpreted as a physical structure instantiated by fundamental particles posited theory. Further, to characterize nature of this structure, they appeal framework Ontic Structural Realism (OSR), thereby proposing structuralist interpretation mechanics. However, I shall point out that OSR denotes family distinct views, each which maintains different account about relation between structures objects, entails kind ontology. Thus, in paper will show how articulate approach Mechanics accordingly standard versions OSR, evaluate these alternatives. Moreover, propose novel sui generis Mechanics, based on metaphysical coherentism.

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 ...
متن کاملBohmian mechanics contradicts quantum mechanics
It is shown that, for a harmonic oscillator in the ground state, Bohmian mechanics and quantum mechanics predict values of opposite sign for certain time correlations.
متن کاملConnections 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...
متن کاملBohmian 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...
متن کاملLorentz-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...
