Density Relaxation in de Broglie–Bohm Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
A Lagrangian analysis explains the numerical results of Valentini and Westman (2005) which demonstrate that an initially arbitrary particle density, stirred by the field of de Broglie velocities associated with a Schrödinger wave function, relaxes to the Born probability density provided both densities are coarse–grained.

Maximally Realistic Causal Quantum Mechanics
We present a causal Hamiltonian quantum mechanics in 2n-dimensional phase space which is more realistic than de Broglie-Bohm mechanics. The positive definite phase space density reproduces as marginals the correct quantum probability densities of n+ 1 different complete commuting sets of observables e.g. positions, momenta and n− 1 other sets.
متن کاملThe de Broglie-Bohm Causal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and its Application to some Simple Systems
The de Broglie-Bohm causal interpretation of quantum mechanics is discussed, and applied to the hydrogen atom in several contexts. Prominent critiques of the causal program are noted and responses are given; it is argued that the de Broglie-Bohm theory is of notable interest to physics. Using the causal theory, electron trajectories are found for the conventional Schrödinger, Pauli and Dirac hy...
متن کاملThe density matrix in the de Broglie-Bohm approach
If the density matrix is treated as an objective description of individual systems, it may become possible to attribute the same objective significance to statistical mechanical properties, such as entropy or temperature, as to properties such as mass or energy. It is shown that the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum theory can be consistently applied to density matrices as a description...
متن کاملQuantum non-equilibrium and relaxation to equilibrium for a class of de Broglie-Bohm-type theories
The de Broglie–Bohm theory is about non-relativistic point-particles that move deterministically along trajectories. The theory reproduces the predictions of standard quantum theory, given that the distribution of particles over an ensemble of systems, all described by the same wavefunction ψ , equals the quantum equilibrium distribution |ψ |2. Numerical simulations done by Valentini and Westma...
