Solitary waves and Bohmian mechanics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a Schrödinger-like equation with a nonlinear term. This nonlinearity has the effect of allowing the existence of highly concentrated stable solitary waves of a topological nature. Such solitary waves tend to move according to Bohmian mechanics. Therefore our model can be considered a nonsingular realization of de Broglie pilot wave theory.

The Reality in Bohmian Quantum Mechanics or Can You Kill with an Empty Wave Bullet?
Several situations, in which an empty wave causes an observable effect, are reviewed. They include an experiment showing “surrealistic trajectories” proposed by Englert et al. and protective measurement of the density of the quantum state. Conditions for observable effects due to empty waves are derived. The possibility (in spite of the existence of these examples) of minimalistic interpretatio...
متن کاملReply to No Contradictions between Bohmian and quantum mechanics
When these are substituted into his equation (17), the right hand side of his equation (18) vanishes. What Marchildon’s calculations have, in fact, established is that the assumption of translation invariance (Fraunhoffer diffraction and plane waves) imposed by me in my papers are sufficient but not necessary to obtain the basic result, namely that the trajectories are symmetrical at all times ...
متن کاملToward Quantum Behavioral Fiances: Bohmian Approach
We apply methods of quantum mechanics for mathematical modeling of price dynamics at the financial market. We propose to describe behavioral financial factors by using the pilot wave (Bohmian) model of quantum mechanics. The theory of financial behavioral waves takes into account the market psychology. The real trajectories of prices are determined (through the financial analogue of the second ...
متن کاملParticles, waves and trajectories: 210 years after Young’s experiment
Mermin’s “shut up and calculate!” somehow summarizes the most widely accepted view on quantum mechanics. This conception has led to a rather constraining way to think and understand the quantum world. Nonetheless, a closer look at the principles and formal body of this theory shows that, beyond longstanding prejudices, there is still room enough for alternative tools. This is the case, for exam...
متن کاملReconciling quantum trajectories and stationary quantum distributions in single-photon polarization states
The question of the representation of quantum stationary partially polarized waves as random superpositions of different polarization ellipses is addressed. To this end, the Bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics is considered and extended to quantum optical polarization. As is shown, this approach properly combines definite time-evolving trajectories with rigorous stationary quantum distribu...
