Is there any experiment that could settle the debate between De Broglie - Bohm Pilot Wave Theory and the Copenhagen Interpretation?

1$\begingroup$ Not as far as I know. Bohmian mechanics it's really an interpretation in a sense and so its predictions are the same as for standard QM $\endgroup$– lcvCommented Dec 29, 2019 at 15:01

$\begingroup$ What about the differences between QFT and the determinism of Pilot Wave Theory? Is there any way to experimentally prove that one is correct? $\endgroup$– user250486Commented Dec 29, 2019 at 15:08

$\begingroup$ Bohmian mechanisc afaik is non relativistic qm interpretation. All relativistic experiments in high energy physics can be calculated with the Copenhagen interpretation . $\endgroup$– anna vCommented Dec 29, 2019 at 19:10

2$\begingroup$ I do not think there is any debate about the Copenhagen interpretation being correct due to inconsistencies about what an observer is. Regarding bohmian vs other interpretations, having hidden variables always leaves open the possibility of eventually detecting them. But it would imply new physics, as both theories predict the same for standard particles. $\endgroup$– user65081Commented Dec 30, 2019 at 4:29
