Can the pilot wave theory explain why the circumference of an orbit has to be an integer multiple of the wavelength of the electron orbiting it?
Consider the atomic model proposed by Bohr. The velocity of an electron at any orbit is given by the following equation:
$$v= n \dfrac{h}{2\pi mr}$$
Now, this equation stems from the fact that, quote, ...

How do electrons stay in orbitals in Bohmian Mechanics?
I've been reading various realist interpretations of quantum mechanics and in Bohmian Mechanics, I found that the "wave" aspect of a quantum particle is removed from the particle to preserve ...

In Bohmian mechanics, do electrons move inside an atom?
Look at http://www.bohmian-mechanics.net/whatisbm_pictures_hydrogen.html. It is mentioned that in the rest states of a bound electron, the position of the electron is stationary, since the ...

Hydrogen atom nodes and Bohmian trajectories
Wouldn't the fact that the solutions to the hydrogen atom orbital shape have nodes prove that the Bohmian interpretation is incorrect, since in that interpretation, the electrons would have a fixed ...
