Can the Aharonov-Bohm experiment also be described by conditional probablilties, like the simple double slit?
The most attractive description of the double slit experiment for me is that in Beltrametti and Cassinelli's book.$^{[1]}$ The essence of their description is the following.
Beltrametti-Cassinelli ...

Gravitational Waves and Pilot Wave Theory
If gravitational waves interfere with each other, and gravity is the warping of spacetime by the presence of matter, wouldn't thus waves cause the interference patterns seen in the double slit ...

How does pilot wave theory expain delayed choice quantum eraser experiment?
I have heard that pilot wave theory adequately explains all quantum phenomenon and is an alternative to the more mainstream Copenhagen interpretation.
We have an experiment called the delayed choice ...

How does Bohmian mechanics explain the effect of information in the double-slit experiment?
De Broglie and David Bohm found a method (1952) that explains the double-slit experiment and its variations, which are so central to QM, in an intuitive way without appeal to probability, wave-...

Does this thought experiment proves that Standard Quantum Mechanics and Pilot Wave Theory make different predictions?
Here is a thought experiment that is supposed to show that standard quantum mechanics and pilot wave theory do not make the same prediction :
Take the double slit experiment, and add a detector in ...

In a pilot-wave model, is knowing the position of the particle sufficient for predicting its behavior?
Suppose that we somehow exactly know the position of an electron before hitting the double-slit structure (for example we know it's 20cm away from the structure and it's closer to the left slit). In ...

Does (Tomas) Bohr's modified double slit argument really doom Couder's quantum/classical fluid dynamics analogy?
I'm just an amateur, probably why I find the de Broglie/Bohm/Couder approach to QM compelling. But Copenhagen struck back: in a coincidence, Bohr's grandson is a fluid physicist who claims that ...

Bohm's view of double-slit experiment, wave-particle duality
I gather that Bohm denies the notion that the act of measurement decides whether a photon will be a wave or a particle. Bohm's idea seems to be that the photon is always a particle with a real ...

How does the de Broglie-Bohm picture explain the double-slit experiment with single particles?
If the particle has a single well-defined trajectory in the de Broglie-Bohm theory, how come that the interference pattern still appears even with single particles?

Is there a video of a double-slit experiment using walking oil droplets (aka dotwaves)?
I've heard there have been experiments with walking droplets in a double-slit setup, and I've seen videos of many of the other quantum phenomenons walking droplets can emulate, but I can't find one of ...
