Velocity of a Quantum Particle in a Classically Forbidden Region
Christian Beck, Sheldon Goldstein, Dustin Lazarovici +2
Recently, Sharoglazova et al. [Nature 643, 67 (2025)] proposed a procedure for determining the speed of a quantum particle in the classically forbidden region of a potential step,…
Comment on "Energy-speed relationship of quantum particles challenges Bohmian mechanics"
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…
The Point of Primitive Ontology
Dustin Lazarovici, Paula Reichert
Bohmian mechanics grounds the predictions of quantum mechanics in precise dynamical laws for a primitive ontology of point particles. In an appraisal of the de-Broglie-Bohm theory,…
Position Measurements and the Empirical Status of Particles in Bohmian Mechanics
Dustin Lazarovici
The paper addresses the debate about the empirical status of particles versus wave functions in Bohmian quantum mechanics. It thereby clarifies questions and misconceptions about t…
Against Fields
Dustin Lazarovici
Using the example of classical electrodynamics, I argue that the concept of fields as mediators of particle interactions is fundamentally flawed and reflects a misguided attempt to…
How Quantum Mechanics can consistently describe the use of itself
Dustin Lazarovici, Mario Hubert
We discuss the no-go theorem of Frauchiger and Renner based on an "extended Wigner's friend" thought experiment which is supposed to show that any single-world interpretation of qu…
Arrow(s) of Time without a Past Hypothesis
Dustin Lazarovici, Paula Reichert
The paper discusses recent proposals by Carroll and Chen, as well as Barbour, Koslowski, and Mercati to explain the (thermodynamic) arrow of time without a Past Hypothesis, i.e., t…
On Boltzmann vs. Gibbs and the Equilibrium in Statistical Mechanics
Dustin Lazarovici
In a recent article, Werndl and Frigg discuss the relationship between the Boltzmannian and Gibbsian framework of statistical mechanics, addressing in particular the question when…
Observables and unobservables in quantum mechanics: How the no-hidden-variables theorems support the Bohmian particle ontology
Dustin Lazarovici, Andrea Oldofredi, Michael A. Esfeld
The paper argues that far from challenging - or even refuting - Bohm's quantum theory, the no-hidden-variables theorems in fact support the Bohmian ontology for quantum mechanics.…
From the universe to subsystems: Why quantum mechanics appears more stochastic than classical mechanics
Andrea Oldofredi, Dustin Lazarovici, Dirk-André Deckert +1
By means of the examples of classical and Bohmian quantum mechanics, we illustrate the well-known ideas of Boltzmann as to how one gets from laws defined for the universe as a whol…
Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself
Daniela Frauchiger, Renato Renner
Quantum theory provides an extremely accurate description of fundamental processes in physics. It thus seems likely that the theory is applicable beyond the, mostly microscopic, do…
A particle approximation for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell dynamics
Dustin Lazarovici
We present a microscopic derivation of the 3-dimensional relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system as a combined mean field and point-particle limit of an -particle system of rigid cha…
The Vlasov-Poisson dynamics as the mean field limit of extended charges
Dustin Lazarovici
The paper treats the validity problem of the nonrelativistic Vlasov-Poisson equation in dimensions. It is shown that the Vlasov-Poisson dynamics can be derived as a combi…
A mean field limit for the Vlasov-Poisson system
Dustin Lazarovici, Peter Pickl
We present a probabilistic proof of the mean field limit and propagation of chaos -particle systems in three dimensions with positive (Coulomb) or negative (Newton) potent…
The physics and metaphysics of primitive stuff
Michael Esfeld, Dustin Lazarovici, Vincent Lam +1
The paper sets out a primitive ontology of the natural world in terms of primitive stuff, that is, stuff that has as such no physical properties at all, but that is not a bare subs…
The ontology of Bohmian mechanics
Michael Esfeld, Dustin Lazarovici, Mario Hubert +1
The paper points out that the modern formulation of Bohm's quantum theory known as Bohmian mechanics is committed only to particles' positions and a law of motion. We explain how t…
Could time-symmetric interactions reconcile relativity and quantum non-locality?
Dustin Lazarovici
We present a simple model demonstrating that time-symmetric relativistic interactions can account for correlations violating the Bell inequalities while avoiding conspiracies as we…
Time Evolution in the external field problem of Quantum Electrodynamics
Dustin Lazarovici
A general problem of quantum field theories is the fact that the free vacuum and the vacuum for an interacting theory belong to different, non-equivalent representations of the can…
Why "noncommuting common causes" don't explain anything
Dustin Lazarovici
In my commentary, I will argue that the conclusions drawn in the paper "Noncommutative causality in algebraic quantum field" theory by Gábor Hofer-Szabó (and similar publications)…
