Abstract

The motion of a single vortex is able to originate chaos in the quantum trajectories defined in Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics. In this Letter, we show that this is also the case in the general situation, in which many interacting vortices exist. This result gives support to recent attempts in which Born's probability rule is derived in terms of an irreversible time evolution to equilibrium, rather than being postulated.
