Quantum phase analysis with quantum trajectories: A step towards the creation of a Bohmian thinking
arXiv:1104.1296 · doi:10.1119/1.3698324
Abstract
We introduce a pedagogical discussion on Bohmian mechanics and its physical implications in connection with the important role played by the quantum phase in the dynamics of quantum processes. In particular, we focus on phenomena such as quantum coherence, diffraction, and interference, due to their historical relevance in the development of the quantum theory and their key role in a myriad of fundamental and applied problems of current interest.
