Mind, Matter, and Freedom in Quantum Mechanics and the de Broglie-Bohm Theory
Valia Allori
There are several important philosophical problems to which quantum mechanics is often said to have made significant contributions: - Determinism: quantum theory has been taken to…
Why Bohm and Only Bohm?
Jean Bricmont
It is often claimed that there are three "realist" versions of quantum mechanics: the de Broglie-Bohm theory or Bohmian mechanics, the spontaneous collapse theories and the many wo…
The De Broglie-Bohm theory {\it is} and {\it is not} a hidden variable theory
Jean Bricmont
We will first define what is meant by ``hidden variables". Then, we will review various theorems proving the impossibility of theories introducing such variables and then show that…
EPR-Bell-Schrödinger proof of nonlocality using position and momentum
Jean Bricmont, Sheldon Goldstein, Douglas Hemmick
Based on his extension of the classical argument of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen, Schrödinger observed that, in certain quantum states associated with pairs of particles that can b…
Schrödinger's paradox and proofs of nonlocality using only perfect correlations
Jean Bricmont, Sheldon Goldstein, Douglas Hemmick
We discuss proofs of nonlocality based on a generalization by Erwin Schrödinger of the argument of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen. These proofs do not appeal in any way to Bell's ine…
Diagnosing the Trouble With Quantum Mechanics
Jean Bricmont, Sheldon Goldstein
We discuss an article by Steven Weinberg expressing his discontent with the usual ways to understand quantum mechanics. We examine the two solutions that he considers and criticize…
