Why is the Bohm quantum potential considered a potential?
In Bohmian mechanics, the term $$\begin{equation}
Q = -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{\nabla^2 R}{R}
\end{equation}$$
is regarded as the quantum potential term. However this is merely a term from the real ...

De-Broglie Wavelength and the Pilot Wave Theory
I researched a lot of questions on De-Broglie waves on this website and discovered a dense fog of confusion amongst everyone. Louis De-Broglie proposed "Matter Waves" and a simple equation describing ...

In Bohmian mechanics, it the uncertainty due to non-locality?
In the pilot-wave interpretation of quantum mechanics, each particle is driven by the pilot wave on the universal configuration space, and therefore its trajectory is determined nonlocally, and ...

What is the shape of the initial universal wavefunction?
In the many-worlds theory and Bohmian mechanics, the universe has an "initial" "universal" wavefunction which then evolves according to the Schrodinger's equation and determines the future of the ...

How much is the amount of uncertainty in initial positions in Bohmian Mechanics?
In Bohmian mechanics, it is believed that the randomness (uncertainty, lack of knowledge) which is seen in the outcome of experiments is due to the uncertainty in the initial particle positions at the ...
