Guiding Waves in Quantum Mechanics: One Hundred Years of de Broglie-Bohm Pilot-Wave Theory

The pilot-wave theory developed by de Broglie and Bohm has a special place in the history of contemporary physics, being the very first alternative formulation of quantum mechanics. As is well-known, such a framework established itself as a leading interpretation of the quantum formalism, representing a solution to the major technical and conceptual challenges affecting the orthodox view. Indeed, the de Broglie-Bohm theory not only solves the famous measurement problem, one of the most coge...
