Guiding Waves in Quantum Mechanics

PART I INTRODUCTION TO THE DE BROGLIE-BOHM THEORY AND REPLIES TO CRITICS 1: Oliver Passon: Why isn't every physicist a Bohmian? Common objections and their response 2: Antony Valentini: The trouble with pilot-wave theory: a critical evaluation 3: Jean Bricmont: The De Broglie-Bohm theory is and is not a hidden variable theory PART II HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES 4: Olival Freire Junior: On the vicissitudes of Bohm's 1952 interpretation of quantum mechanics 5: Marij van Strien: Why Bohm was never a determinist 6: Flavio Del Santo, Gerd Christian Krizek: Against the 'nightmare of a mechanically determined universe': Why Bohm was never a Bohmian PART III PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSIONS 7: Valia Allori: Relativistic pilot-wave theories as the rational Completion of quantum mechanics and relativity 8: Emilia Margoni: Processualism ahead of time: Bohm's understanding of physics 9: Johannes Fankhauser: The (un)detectability of trajectories in pilot wave theory 10: Cristan Lopez, Michael Esfeld: The direction of time in Bohmian mechanics 11: Sebastian Fortin, Olimpia Lombardi: Bohmian Mechanics for quantum chemistry PART IV NONLOCALITY, EXTENSIONS OF THE DE BROGLIE-BOHM THEORY AND APPLICATIONS 12: Aurélien Drezet: Local causality in the works of Einstein, Bohm and Bell 13: Roderich Tumulka: A vision for a Bohm-style theory of quantum electrodynamics 14: Antonio Vassallo, Pedro Naranjo: On the prospects of a de Broglie-Bohm-Barbour-Bertotti theory 15: Xabier Oianguren-Asua, Albert Solé, Carlos F. Destefani, Xavier Oriols: How weak values illuminate the role of 'hidden'-variables as predictive tools 16: Siddhant Das: Spin-aware movement of electrons and time-of-flight momentum spectroscopy
