In this work we apply the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics to the quantized spherically symmetric black-hole coupled to a massless scalar field. The wave-functional used was first obtained by Tomimatsu using the standard ADM quantization and a gauge that places the observer close to the black-hole horizon. Using the causal interpretation, we compute quantum trajectories determined by the initial conditions. We show that the quantum trajectories for the black-hole mass can either increase or decrease with time. The quantum trajectories that show increasing mass represent the usual black-hole behavior of continuous energy absorption. The mass-decreasing quantum trajectories are a purely quantum mechanical phenomena. They can be physically interpreted as describing a black-hole that evaporates.

A modified de Broglie–Bohm approach is generalized to the Schwarzschild black hole. By using this method, the quantum potential and the quantum trajectories of the black hole are investigated. And we find that the linear combination of two particular solutions of the black hole wavefunction is not physical although each of them is physical, if we think that the quantum gravity should reduce into its corresponding classical counterpart in which the gravity vanishes. It seems to confirm the argument, given by Alwis and MacIntire, that a possible resolution on the quantum gravity is to give up the superposition principle.
