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, ...

In the pilot-wave theory, is the quantum potential moving electrons randomly inside atoms?
As we know, in the pilot-wave theory (Bohmian mechanics), particles are guided on certain trajectories by the wavefunction. Here (In Bohmian mechanics, do electrons move inside an atom?) I asked about ...

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 ...
