Incompatibility of the de Broglie-Bohm Theory with Quantum Mechanics

arXiv:quant-ph/0001024

Abstract

t is shown that although the de Broglie-Bohm quantum theory of motion is equivalent to standard quantum mechanics when averages of dynamical variables are taken over a Gibbs ensemble of Bohmian trajectories, the equivalence breaks down for ensembles built over clearly separated short intervals of time in special multi-particle systems. This feature is exploited to propose a realistic experiment to distinguish between the two theories.

This paper which uses plane waves, a technical defect, is superceded by a more comprehensive paper quant-ph/0103126
