On the Uniqueness of Quantum Equilibrium in Bohmian Mechanics

Abstract

In Bohmian mechanics the distribution $|\psi {|}^2$ is regarded as the equilibrium distribution. We consider its uniqueness, finding that it is the unique equivariant distribution that is also a local functional of the wave function $\psi$.
