Quantum Implications: Essays in Honour of David Bohm

John David Barrow

B J Hiley and F David Peat (eds) 1987 London: Routledge and Kegan Paul vii + 455 pp price £25 ISBN 0 7102 0806 5 This weighty volume is a fitting tribute to a gifted and modest physicist, renowned for many things: for key insights in diverse areas of theoretical physics; for the suggestion of penetrating fundamental experiments; for the authorship of influential textbooks that set new standards of depth and clarity of exposition. The intellectual influence of David Bohm can be measured by the impressive line-up of 30 contributors to this volume, including Nobel laureates Feynman, Prigogine and Wilkins.

Bohmian Mechanics and the Quantum Revolution

Sheldon Goldstein

This is a review-essay on ``Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics'' by John Bell and ``The Undivided Universe: An Ontological Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics'' by David Bohm and Basil Hiley. The views of these authors concerning the character of quantum theory and quantum reality---and, in particular, their approaches to the issues of nonlocality, the possibility of hidden variables, and the nature of and desiderata for a satisfactory scientific explanation of quantum phenomena---are contrasted, with each other and with the orthodox approach to these issues.

John Bell’s scientific correspondence in the early 1970s

Angela Laurora, Augusto Garuccio

It’s well known the role of John Bell’s article On the Einstein- Podolsky-Rosen paradox, published in 1964, for having aroused a renewed interest toward the research about Quantum Mechanics foundations, though only after some years it was observed the consequences in stimulating and orienting the reflection and the research work of physicists concerned with the topic. In fact, the interest and the participation in the debate expanded following the article by Clauser, Horne, Holt and Shimony in 1969 on the proposal of experimental tests on Bell’s inequality verify, as well as after contributions and discussion at Varenna Conference in 1970 and the out- comes publication of first generation experimental tests conducted between 1972 and 1976. From John Bell’s scientific correspondence 10 unpublished letters are selected and, from November 1970 to January 1980, these docu- ments testify and confirm an increased involvement in the research on Quantum Mechanics foundations and involve, as interlocutors of the corre- spondence, authors such as Max Jammer, Daniel Evrard, Francois Bonsack Chabat, Louis de Broglie, David Bohm and Basil Hiley.
