Pilot wave theory. Couder's disputed [1] experiments, [2] [3] purportedly "materializing" the pilot wave model. In theoretical physics, the pilot wave theory, also known as Bohmian mechanics, was the first known example of a hidden-variable theory, presented by Louis de Broglie in 1927.
The de Broglie–Bohm theory, also known as the pilot wave theory, Bohmian mechanics, Bohm's interpretation, and the causal interpretation, is an interpretation of quantum mechanics. It postulates that in addition to the wavefunction, an actual configuration of particles exists, even when unobserved.
Oct 26, 2001 · Bohmian mechanics, which is also called the de Broglie-Bohm theory, the pilot-wave model, and the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics, is a version of quantum theory discovered by Louis de Broglie in 1927 and rediscovered by David Bohm in 1952.
Aug 18, 2017 · This chapter introduces the pilot-wave theory, a quantum mechanical alternative that completes the state description by adding a particle trajectory guided by a wave function. It explains the basic idea, the dynamical laws, and the advantages of the theory over orthodox quantum mechanics.

This book provides a state-of-the-art review of Pilot Wave Theory at the beginning of the XXI century. It contains the best contributions of the first International Conference on Advances in Pilot Wave Theory, held in Lisbon in 2021.
Pilot wave theory suggests that particles have precise positions and momentums, guided by a quantum wave that encodes physical information. Learn about its history, challenges, and recent experiments that support or challenge this overlooked quantum theory.
Mar 5, 2013 · The resulting ‘de Broglian dynamics’ – or pilot-wave theory as de Broglie later called it – was a new approach to the theory of motion, as radical as Einstein's interpretation of the trajectories of falling bodies as geodesics of a curved spacetime, and as far-reaching in its implications.
