Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Information

Many recent results suggest that quantum theory is about information, and that quantum theory is best understood as arising from principles concerning information and information processing. At the same time, by far the simplest version of quantum mechanics, Bohmian mechanics, is concerned, not with information but with the behavior of an objective microscopic reality given by particles and their positions. What I would like to do here is to examine whether, and to what extent, the importance of information, observation, and the like in quantum theory can be understood from a Bohmian perspective. I would like to explore the hypothesis that the idea that information plays a special role in physics naturally emerges in a Bohmian universe. 1 Introduction: The Status

This chapter starts with a discussion on models informing probability versus the case where probability is inherent in the model. The chapter also goes into detail to argue why a particular interpretation of quantum mechanics, Bohmian economics, can be useful in finance. We provide for an example of how such mechanics can be applied to daily returns on commodity prices. We also briefly look into the potential connection between Bohmian mechanics and a macroscopic fluid system.
