Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, Roderich Tumulka, Nino Zanghi
TL;DR
Bohmian mechanics offers a deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics with particles following defined trajectories, explaining quantum phenomena without conspiratorial assumptions.
Contribution
This paper clarifies Bohmian mechanics as a non-conspiratorial, trajectory-based interpretation consistent with quantum statistics.
Findings
Bohmian trajectories are defined by simple laws.
The theory reproduces all standard quantum statistics.
It provides a clear ontological picture of quantum phenomena.
Abstract
Bohmian mechanics is a theory about point particles moving along trajectories. It has the property that in a world governed by Bohmian mechanics, observers see the same statistics for experimental results as predicted by quantum mechanics. Bohmian mechanics thus provides an explanation of quantum mechanics. Moreover, the Bohmian trajectories are defined in a non-conspiratorial way by a few simple laws.
