Relativistically invariant extension of the de Broglie-Bohm theory of quantum mechanics

Christopher Dewdney, Horton, G

Published Feb 19, 2002• 12 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The implications of both our recently proposed lorentz-invariant extension of the de Broglie-Bohm theory and some alternative approaches are considered in the context of the two-particle interferometer experiment proposed by Horne, Shimony and Zeilinger.

Relativistically invariant extension of the de Broglie Bohm theory of quantum mechanics

Christopher Dewdney, George Horton

We show that quantum mechanics can be given a Lorentz-invariant realistic interpretation by applying our recently proposed relativistic extension of the de Broglie–Bohm theory to deduce non-locally correlated, Lorentz-invariant individual particle motions for the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen experiment and the double-interferometer experiment proposed by Horne, Shimony and Zeilinger.

Configuration-space dynamics, velocity fields, and the origin of nonlocality in de Broglie–Bohm quantum theory

Christopher Dewdney

In many-particle quantum mechanics the wave function is irreducibly defined on configuration space. In the de Broglie–Bohm theory this fact is made explicit: both the wave function and the actual motion are naturally described as evolving in configuration space, while the familiar three-dimensional motions of particles arise only as projections of this higher-dimensional dynamics. In this paper we argue that configuration space should be regarded as the fundamental arena of quantum dynamics. On this view, the nonlocal correlations observed in ordinary three-dimensional space are not mysterious dynamical influences but direct consequences of local evolution in configuration space. This perspective is developed and illustrated through a detailed analysis of momentum measurement and which-way detection in the iconic two slit experiment, in the two-particle interferometry experiment of Horne–Shimony–Zeilinger and in the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen experiment.

Formal equivalence between Maxwell equations and the de Broglie-Bohm theory for two-dimensional optical microcavities

Aurélien Drezet, Bernard Michael Nabet

We analyze the formal equivalence between the electromagnetic energy conservation law derived from Maxwell's equations in an optical microcavity and the conservation of a probability fluid associated with the de Broglie-Bohm theory for an effective massive particle describing a photon in this cavity. This work is part of a critical analysis of recent experiments [Nature \textbf{643}, 67-72 (2025)] carried out with a view to refuting the de Broglie-Bohm theory. Furthermore, the consequences of our analysis for microphotonics go far beyond these experiments. In particular, extensions that take into account photon spin and stochastic aspects associated with radiative or absorption losses are considered.

Lorentz-invariant Bohmian Mechanics

Euan J. Squires

A derivation of the Bohm model, and some general comments about it, are given. A modification of the model which is formally local and Lorentz-invariant is introduced, and its properties studied for a simple experiment.
