Comment on “Bohmian mechanics with complex action: A new trajectory-based formulation of quantum mechanics” [J. Chem. Phys. 125, 231103 (2006)]
Ángel S. Sanz, Salvador Miret-Artés
With this Comment, we would like to provide a general discussion on two important issues arising from a recent work by Goldfarb et al. [J. Chem. Phys.125, 231103 (2006)], which we consider to be of broad interest to the Chemical Physics community. First we introduce a discussion on trajectory-based formalisms associated with the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi approach. Then, we stress the special interest relying on how the term locality should be used in quantum mechanics, in particular, when dealing with trajectory-based formulations of this theory.
