Young's experiment with entangled bipartite systems: The role of underlying quantum velocity fields
A. S. Sanz
We consider the concept of velocity fields, taken from Bohmian mechanics, to investigate the dynamical effects of entanglement in bipartite realizations of Young's two-slit experim…
Partially coherent Airy beams: A cross-spectral density approach
R. Martínez-Herrero, A. S. Sanz
Airy beams are known for displaying shape invariance and self-acceleration along the transverse direction while they propagate forwards. Although these properties could be associat…
Bohmian analysis of dark solutions in interfering Bose-Einstein condensates: The dynamical role of underlying velocity fields
J. Tounli, A. S. Sanz
In the last decades, the experimental research on Bose-Einstein interferometry has received much attention due to promising technological implications. This has thus motivated the…
Quantum-classical entropy analysis for nonlinearly-coupled continuous-variable bipartite systems
A. S. Sanz
The correspondence principle plays a fundamental role in quantum mechanics, which naturally leads us to inquire whether it is possible to find or determine close classical analogs…
Decoherence in quantum cavities: Environmental erasure of carpet-type structures
E. Honrubia, A. S. Sanz
Carpet-type structures constitute an ideal laboratory to study and analyze the robustness of the interference process that underlies this phenomenon against the harmful effects of…
Graph approach to quantum teleportation dynamics
E. Honrubia, A. S. Sanz
Quantum teleportation plays a key role in modern quantum technologies. Thus, it is of much interest to generate alternative approaches or representations aimed at allowing us a bet…

J. M. Bofill, A. S. Sanz, G. Albareda +2
A solution to the quantum Zermelo problem for control Hamiltonians with general energy resource bounds is provided. Interestingly, the energy resource of the control Hamiltonian an…
Atom-diffraction from surfaces with defects: A Fermatian, Newtonian and Bohmian joint view
A. S. Sanz
Bohmian mechanics, widely known within the field of the quantum foundations, has been a quite useful resource for computational and interpretive purposes in a wide variety of pract…
Boundary bound diffraction: A combined spectral and Bohmian analysis
J. Tounli, A. Alvarado, A. S. Sanz
The diffraction-like process displayed by a spatially localized matter wave is here analyzed in a case where the free evolution is frustrated by the presence of hard-wall-type boun…
Bohmian pathways into chemistry: A brief overview
A. S. Sanz
Perhaps because of the popularity that trajectory-based methodologies have always had in Chemistry and the important role they have played, Bohmian mechanics has been increasingly…
Quantum Interference, Hidden Symmetries: Theory and Experimental Facts
A. S. Sanz
The concept of quantum superposition is reconsidered and discussed from the viewpoint of Bohmian mechanics, the hydrodynamic formulation of quantum mechanics, in order to elucidate…
Description of classical and quantum interference in view of the concept of flow line
M. Davidovic, A. S. Sanz, M. Bozic
Bohmian mechanics, a hydrodynamic formulation of quantum mechanics, relies on the concept of trajectory, which evolves in time in compliance with dynamical information conveyed by…
Applied Bohmian Mechanics
A. Benseny, G. Albareda, A. S. Sanz +2
Bohmian mechanics provides an explanation of quantum phenomena in terms of point particles guided by wave functions. This review focuses on the formalism of non-relativistic Bohmia…
Particles, waves and trajectories: 210 years after Young's experiment
A. S. Sanz
Mermin's "shut up and calculate!" somehow summarizes the most widely accepted view on quantum mechanics. This conception has led to a rather constraining way to think and understan…
Nonclassical polarization dynamics in classical-like states
Alfredo Luis, Angel S. Sanz
Quantum polarization is investigated by means of a trajectory picture based on the Bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics. Relevant examples of classical-like two-mode field stat…

Bohmian mechanics allows us to understand quantum systems in the light of other quantum traits than the well-known ones (coherence, diffraction, interference, tunneling, discretene…
On the unique mapping relationship between initial and final quantum states
A. S. Sanz, S. Miret-Artes
In its standard formulation, quantum mechanics presents a very serious inconvenience: given a quantum system, there is no possibility at all to unambiguously (causally) connect a p…
