Some Observations upon "Realistic" Trajectories in Bohmian Quantum Mechanics.María C. Boscá - 2013 - Theoria 28 (1):45-60.details _Experimental situations in which we observe quantum effects that deviate from the intuitive expectations of the classical world call for an interdisciplinary discussion, and one fundamental issue to be considered is the compatibility between the description of phenomena and the assumption of an objective reality. This paper discusses the ontological interpretation of Bohmian quantum mechanics, focusing on the use of the term “trajectory” and the difficulties associated with its connection to a “real” (objective) trajectory. __My conclusion is that the intended (...)

Surrealistic Bohmian trajectories appraised.Albert Solé - 2017 - European Journal for Philosophy of Science 7 (3):467-492.details Englert et al. claim that, in certain circumstances, the Bohmian trajectory of a test particle does not match the reports of which-path detectors, concluding that the Bohmian trajectories are not real, but “surrealistic.” However, Hiley and Callaghan argue that, if Bohm’s interpretation is correctly applied, no such mismatch is ever sanctioned. Unfortunately, the debate was never settled since nobody showed where the source of disagreement resided. In this paper, I reassess the debate over such “surrealistic” trajectories and I derive both (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
Do(es the Influence of) Empty Waves Survive in Configuration Space?T. Durt - 2022 - Foundations of Physics 53 (1):1-24.details The de Broglie–Bohm interpretation is a no-collapse interpretation, which implies that we are in principle surrounded by empty waves generated by all particles of the universe, empty waves that will never collapse. It is common to establish an analogy between these pilot-waves and 3D radio-waves, which are nearly devoided of energy but carry nevertheless information to which we may have access after an amplification process. Here we show that this analogy is limited: if we consider empty waves in configuration space, (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
