Are All Particles Real?
Sheldon Goldstein, James Taylor, Roderich Tumulka +1
In Bohmian mechanics elementary particles exist objectively, as point particles moving according to a law determined by a wavefunction. In this context, questions as to whether the…
On the Role of Density Matrices in Bohmian Mechanics
Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, Roderich Tumulka +1
It is well known that density matrices can be used in quantum mechanics to represent the information available to an observer about either a system with a random wave function (``s…
Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory
Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, Roderich Tumulka +1
We discuss a recently proposed extension of Bohmian mechanics to quantum field theory. For more or less any regularized quantum field theory there is a corresponding theory of part…
Quantum Hamiltonians and Stochastic Jumps
Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, Roderich Tumulka +1
With many Hamiltonians one can naturally associate a |Psi|^2-distributed Markov process. For nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, this process is in fact deterministic, and is known…
Revised Proof of the Uniqueness Theorem for 'No Collapse' Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
Jeffrey Bub, Rob Clifton, Sheldon Goldstein
We show that the Bub-Clifton uniqueness theorem for 'no collapse' interpretations of quantum mechanics (Studies in the History and Philosophy of Modern Physics 27, 181-219 (1996))…
Quantum spacetime without observers: ontological clarity and the conceptual foundations of quantum gravity
Sheldon Goldstein, Stefan Teufel
We explore the possibility of a Bohmian approach to the problem of finding a quantum theory incorporating gravitational phenomena. The major conceptual problems of canonical quantu…
