A two–slit experiment which distinguishes between the standard and Bohmian quantum mechanics

چکیده

In this investigation, we have suggested a special two-slit experiment which can distinguish between standard and Bohmian quantum mechanics, even at the statistical level. At the first step, we have shown that observable individual predictions at suitable time intervals, obtained from these theories, are inconsistent. But, at the statistical level, they are consistent as was expected. Then, using suitable arrangements, we have shown that not only observable disagreement between the two theories exists at the individual level, but that using selective detection, there are novel observable predictions that either standard quantum mechanics is silent about them or that its predictions are in disagreement with those of Bohmian mechanics at the statistical level. Finally, we have examined suitable conditions for performing such experiment.

The impact of P/E ratio and price return on the stock market Bohmian quantum potential approach

Price return and P/E are two important factors for a lot of investors based on the latest studies by researchers in Tehran Stock market; however, it is expected that the price and the variation of that affect the return and the P/E of any given market as a complicated system. The Bohmian quantum mechanics used referring to the time correlation of return and P/E of the stock market under conside...

Reply to: Comment on “Bohmian prediction about a two double-slit experiment and its disagreement with SQM”

In a recent paper, Struyve et al. [Struyve W, De Baere W, De Neve J and De Weirdt S 2003 J. Phys. A 36 1525] attempted to show that the thought experiment proposed in [Golshani M and Akhavan O 2001 J. Phys. A 34 5259] cannot distinguish between standard and Bohmian quantum mechanics. Here, we want to show that, in spite of their objection, our conclusion still holds out. PACS number(s): 03.65.B...

Experiment can decide between standard and Bohmian quantum mechanics

In this investigation, we have considered two thought experiments to make a comparison between predictions of the standard and the Bohmian quantum mechanics. Concerning this, a two-particle system has been studied at two various situations of the entangled and the unentangled states. In the first experiment, the two theories can predict different results at the individual level, while their sta...

Particles, waves and trajectories: 210 years after Young’s experiment

Mermin’s “shut up and calculate!” somehow summarizes the most widely accepted view on quantum mechanics. This conception has led to a rather constraining way to think and understand the quantum world. Nonetheless, a closer look at the principles and formal body of this theory shows that, beyond longstanding prejudices, there is still room enough for alternative tools. This is the case, for exam...
