چکیده
Trajectory-based approaches to quantum mechanics include the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation and Nelson’s stochastic interpretation. It is shown that the usual route to establishing the validity of such interpretations, via a decomposition of the Schrödinger equation into a continuity equation and a modified Hamilton-Jacobi equation, fails for some quantum states. A very simple example is provided by a quantum particle in a box, described by a wavefunction initially uniform over the interior of the box. For this example there is no corresponding continuity or modified Hamilton-Jacobi equation, and the spacetime dependence of the wavefunction has a known fractal structure. Examples with finite average energies are also constructed.

We argue that EPR-type correlations do not entail any form of “non-locality”, when viewed in the context of a relational interpretation of quantum mechanics. The abandonment of strict Einstein realism advocated by this interpretation permits to reconcile quantum mechanics, completeness, (operationally defined) separability, and locality.

A complementarity relation is shown between the visibility of interference and bipartite entanglement in a two qubit interferometric system when the parameters of the quantum operation change for a given input state. The entanglement measure is a decreasing function of the visibility of interference. The implications for quantum computation are briefly discussed.

A new scheme for quantum teleportation is presented, in which the complete teleportation can be occurred even when an entangled state between Alice and Bob is not maximal.
