Holland's “The Quantum Theory of Motion: An Account of the De Broglie-Bohm Causal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics”, Cambridge University Press, 1995. In his later career, de Broglie worked to develop a causal explanation of wave mechanics, in opposition to the wholly probabilistic models which dominatequantum mechanical theory; it was refined by David Bohm in the 1950s. Bohm's theory reproduces the predictions of quantum mechanics without resorting to Based on an idea from Louis de Broglie, a hidden “guiding wave” traveling faster than light governs the motion of a particle. The initial quantum wave starts [3] I. David Bohm's so-called Causal Interpretation of quantum mechanics is the most famous non-local hidden variable theory (there are a number of others). The main answer is that I thought, surely, after all these years, Little would have been able to concoct some kind of account of the EPR-Bell type experiments that had caused him so much trouble, almost a decade ago now, when these . The Quantum Theory of Motion: An Account of the de Broglie-Bohm Causal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. I welcome all comments — pro and con. Another book with similar errors is Peter R. But, since it has some A quantum connection between light and motion. The causal interpretation of quantum theory developed by David Bohm introduced trajectories that are guided by a real phase function from the wavefunction in the polar form. De Broglie, in which the quantum wave generates an effective potential (a sum of obstacle and quantum potentials) that the particles follow. In addition to strictly The de Broglie-Bohm theory is today the only interpretation giving real status to matter-waves and representing the predictions of quantum theory. Abraham, "Two-Dimensional Time-Dependent Quantum-Mechanical Scattering Event," American Journal of Physics, 52(1), 1984 pp. I don't know Bohm's interpretation that well, but it may be testable in theory, if not with today's technology (as is the case with collapse [ie Copenhagen] versus decoherence [ie many-worlds]). However, the theory remains non-local. The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation is a trivial counter-example to your assertion which has been known for over 50 years, so you're either ignorant, dishonest and intentionally deceiving people, or simply an idiot. The formalism of the quantum motion is derived from the causal interpretation of D. In quantum mechanics, though, if you know the initial conditions and you know the laws of physics, you can figure out the probability of various outcomes happening, but you can never know which one will definitely occur until after it's over. None of these concepts and adjectives exist in physics; the most general interpretation compatible with quantum mechanics would be that \(\lambda\) is a mixed state combining pure states \(|0\rangle\) and \(|{+}\rangle\) with coefficients ( probabilities) that ..
