Experiment can decide between the standard and Bohmian quantum mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this investigation, we suggest a thought experiment to make a comparison between predictions of standard and Bohmian quantum mechanics. We consider a two-particle device at two various situations of the entangled and unentangled systems. In the first case, the two theories can predict different results at the individual level, while their statistical results are the same. In the other case, not only they are in disagreement at the individual level, but also their equivalence breaks down at the statistical level, if one uses selective detection. Furthermore, we discuss about some objections that can be raised concerning the results of the experiment. PACS: 03.65.Bz

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...
متن کاملA two–slit experiment which distinguishes between the standard and Bohmian quantum mechanics
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, usi...
متن کاملمطالعه انتشار همدوس لپتونهای باردار ناشی از واپاشی پایون و W بوزون در مکانیک بوهمی
Although charged leptons, contrary to neutrinos, cannot oscillate, exploring whether a coherent superposition of charged lepton states can change to others during the propagation is an important problem in the neutrino oscillation theory. In this paper, we consider electrons and muons coming from the pions and W decays and study their propagation in relativistic Bohmian quantum mechanics. We f...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملIntroductory lecture on Bohmian mechanics
Bohmian mechanics is a theory of quantum phenomena based on a particle picture. On a fundamental level, it explains the world around us in terms of point particles that move on deterministic paths. When used to describe experimental situations, Bohmian mechanics yields the textbook formalism of quantum mechanics, and can therefore be considered as an explanation of the axioms of standard quantu...
