De Broglie–Bohm theory: History, Art & Measurement

The de Broglie–Bohm theory, also known as the pilot wave theory, Bohmian mechanics, and the causal interpretation, is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that postulates that, in addition to the wave function, a particle possesses a definite position at all times, even when unobserved.
