In the pilot wave model, why does the wave function depends on the set of particle?

In PWT, the wave function depends on the positions of all the particles. Therefore the velocity of a given particle depends of the positions of the other, it's why the theory is non local. In the ...

How does the Pusey-Barret-Rudolph (PBR) theorem not just disprove hidden variables?

In Quantum Mechanics, two different wavefunctions can have a non-zero probability of finding a particle at a position $x$. According to hidden variable theories, if a particle is found at $x$, it was ...

Regarding Pilot Wave Theory [duplicate]

Not as popular as the Copenhagen interpretation perhaps, but I'm truly intrigues to know the intricacies of the de Broglie-Bohm Theory. However, I could find absolutely no source which could teach me ...

Can quantum randomness be somehow explained by classical uncertainty? [closed]

In quantum mechanics, the outcome of each measurement is random, distributed according to the squared amplitude of the wave function obtained from the Schrodinger's equation. Now, can someone suggest ...

Can we have an arbitrary set of trajectories in Bohmian mechanics?

In Bohmian mechanics, the initial configurations and the pilot wave determine the future of the system. Given a set of initial positions for particles and a set of arbitrary trajectories, can we ...

What happens with QM particle at constant velocity? [closed]

In QM particles have wavefunctions that disperse quite fast. The FWHM for gaussian wavepacket increases in time as $\Delta x(t)= \Delta x_0\sqrt{1+(t/\tau)^2} $, $\tau=2m(\Delta x_0)^2/\hbar$ What ...
