According to pilot wave theory, the point particle and the matter wave are both real and distinct physical entities (unlike standard quantum mechanics, which postulates no physical particle or wave entities, only observed wave-particle duality). The pilot wave guides the motion of the point particles as described by the guidance equation.
The pilot wave. The de Broglie–Bohm theory describes a pilot wave (,) in a configuration space and trajectories () of particles as in classical mechanics but defined by non-Newtonian mechanics.

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.
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.

For pilot wave theory to triumph, though, physicists will need to find a way to pluck a surfer from its quantum wave and show the two can exist independently. Experimentally, this could be achieved by emitting two particles and separating one from its ride by measuring it.
