Bohm's "quantum potential" can be considered falsified by experiment

TL;DR

This paper presents an experiment using entangled photons that challenges Bohm's quantum potential theory, providing evidence that supports the standard quantum collapse model over Bohm's interpretation.

Contribution

It introduces a novel experimental test that falsifies Bohm's quantum potential hypothesis using two-photon interference.

Findings

No shift observed in detection rates, ruling out Bohm's infinite-speed quantum potential.

Supports the standard quantum collapse without additional hidden variables.

Experimental method demonstrates a new way to test quantum interpretations.

Abstract

A Michelson-Morley-type experiment is described, which exploits two-photon interference between entangled photons instead of classical light interference. In this experimental context, the negative result (no shift in the detection rates) rules out David Bohm's postulate of an infinite-speed time-ordered "quantum potential", and thereby upholds the timeless standard quantum collapse.
