On value of David Bohm’s Quantum Mechanics

On the value of David Bohm’s Quantum Mechanics or Consistent Faith of a Physicist: God’s Grace within Physics

Without forcing to accept my points, I present the glim of my consistent faith to the scientific community of orthodox believers. Because I stay within the dogmas of the Orthodox Christian Church, I suggest to read the text without criticism. It is simply the beautiful and meaningful picture of my personal world. Please enjoy it.

Mind, Matter, Information and Quantum Interpretations

In this paper I give a new information-theoretic analysis of the formalisms and interpretations of quantum mechanics (QM) in general, and of two mainstream interpretations of quantum mechanics in particular: The Copenhagen interpretation and David Bohm’s interpretation of quantum mechanics. Adopting Juan G. Roederer’s reading of the notion of pragmatic information, I argue that pragmatic inform...

On some early objections to Bohm’s theory

Recent literature on Bohm’s alternative to mainstream quantum mechanics may create the misleading impression that, except for perfunctory dismissals, the theory was ignored by the physics community in the years immediately following its proposal. As a matter of fact, Einstein, Pauli, and Heisenberg all published criticisms of Bohm’s theory, explaining their reasons for not accepting the theory....

Chaotic dynamics in billiards using Bohm’s quantum mechanics

The ontology of Bohmian mechanics

The paper points out that the modern formulation of Bohm’s quantum theory known as Bohmian mechanics is committed only to particles’ positions and a law of motion. We explain how this view can avoid the open questions that the traditional view faces according to which Bohm’s theory is committed to a wave-function that is a physical entity over and above the particles, although it is defined on ...

Appreciating a Hiley Respected Colleague

One cannot sensibly introduce Basil Hiley’s work as a mathematical physicist without his collaboration with David Bohm, lasting from 1962, when Basil went to Birkbeck College, to Bohm’s death in 1992. The beginning of their careers shows an astonishing similarity in the study of collective phenomena—Bohm in plasmas, Basil in molecules. However, their topics changed drastically over time, and th...
