Formal equivalence between Maxwell equations and the de Broglie-Bohm theory for two-dimensional optical microcavities
Aurélien Drezet, Bernard Michael Nabet
We analyze the formal equivalence between the electromagnetic energy conservation law derived from Maxwell's equations in an optical microcavity and the conservation of a probabili…

Aurélien Drezet, Dustin Lazarovici, Bernard Michael Nabet
In their recent paper [Nature 643, 67 (2025)], Sharaglazova et al. report an optical microcavity experiment yielding an "energy-speed relationship" for quantum particles in evanesc…
Comments on `Comment on Aurélien Drezet's defense of relational quantum mechanics' by Jay Lawrence, Marcin Markiewicz and Marek Źukowski
Aurélien Drezet
We respond briefly to the recent comment by Jay Lawrence, Marcin Markiewicz and Marek Źukowski [arXiv:2210.09025 and Found. Phys. \textbf{54}, 45 (2024)] regarding our work defendi…
Can Bohmian mechanics be considered complete?
Aurélien Drezet, Arnaud Amblard
In this work celebrating the centenary of quantum mechanics, we review the principles of de Broglie Bohm theory, also known as pilot-wave theory and Bohmian mechanics. We assess th…
From Hamilton-Jacobi to Bohm: Why the Wave Function Isn't Just Another Action
Arnaud Amblard, Aurélien Drezet
This paper examines the physical meaning of the wave function in Bohmian mechanics (BM), addressing the debate between causal and nomological interpretations. While BM postulates p…
A time (anti)symmetric approach to the double solution theory
Pierre Jamet, Aurélien Drezet
In this work we present a new theoretical approach to interpreting and reproducing quantum mechanics using trajectory-guided wavelets. Inspired by the 1925 work of Louis de Broglie…
Arrival time and Bohmian Mechanics: It is the theory which decides what we can measure
Aurélien Drezet
In this work we analyze recent proposals by Das and Dürr (DD) to measure the arrival time distributions of quantum particles within the framework of de Broglie Bohm theory (or Bohm…
Did Louis de Broglie miss the discovery of the Schrödinger equation?
Aurélien Drezet
In this note, we discuss a historical point regarding Schrödinger's discovery of the famous quantum wave equation in 1926 following de Broglie's fundamental works published in 1923…
Whence Nonlocality? Removing spooky action at a distance from the de Broglie Bohm pilot-wave theory using a time-symmetric version of de Broglie double solution
Aurélien Drezet
In this work, we review and extend a version of the old attempt made by Louis de broglie for interpreting quantum mechanics in realistic terms, namely the double solution. In this…
Local causality in the works of Einstein, Bohm and Bell
Aurélien Drezet
In this chapter we discuss the Einstein Podolsky Rosen theorem and its strong relation with Bell's theorem. The central role played by the concept of beable introduced by Bell is e…
A classical analog of the quantum Zeeman effect
Pierre Jamet, Aurélien Drezet
We extend a recent classical mechanical analog of Bohr's atom consisting of a scalar field coupled to a massive point-like particle [P. Jamet, A. Drezet, ``A mechanical analog of B…
A dual-Lagrangian description adapted to quantum optics in dispersive and dissipative dielectric media
Aurĺien Drezet
We develop a dual description of quantum optics adapted to dielectric systems without magnetic property. Our formalism, which is shown to be equivalent to the standard one within s…

A. Drezet
In this article we discuss few new derivations of the so called Born's rule for quantum probability in the context of the pilot wave theory proposed by de Broglie in 1927.
