Time and Ensemble Averages in Bohmian Mechanics
We show that in the framework of one-dimensional Bohmian Quantum Mechanics[1], for a particle subject to a potential undergoing a weak adiabatic change, the time averages of the particle’s positions typically differ markedly from the ensemble averages. We Apply this result to the case where the weak perturbing potential is the backaction of a measuring device (i.e. a protective measurement). It...
متن کاملBohmian 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...
