How does pilot wave theory explain non-zero momentum measurements? [closed]
The momentum of particles in pilot wave theory is dependent on the phase of the spatial wave function, which is 0 for stationary states. This means that electrons in all excited stationary states of a ...

Measurement of Position in Bohmian Mechanics
In many formulations of Bohmian mechanics, researchers seem to claim that 1) measurements of observables such as spin are just measurements of the position of a pointer variable, such as the Stern-...

Is Pilot Wave Theory contextual? How?
The Kochen Specker theorem says that hidden variable theories must be contextual. I'm not seeing anything in the definition of Bohmian mechanics that makes the hidden variable variable assignments ...

Is 'measurement' deterministic in the pilot wave theory?
From what I read, measurements in pilot wave theory affect the particles as well as the guiding waves. Is it a random process or is everything deterministic according to the theory?

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 ...
