The nature of a quantum state
TLDR
In this article, the Schrodinger equation type of description for fundamental processes is analysed, in terms of an alternative theory which describes the fluid behaviour of a polarized vacuum in a hyperspace.Abstract:
The Schrodinger equation type of description for fundamental processes is analysed, in terms of an alternative theory which describes the fluid behaviour of a polarized vacuum in a hyperspace. it is shown that Schrodinger quantum states can always be generated from an impulsive production of mass dipoles by processes which are classically explicable. A set of natural reference frames are introduced in relation to which it is shown that the Schrodinger structure assumes a very simple form in terms of local rotations. A fundamental vector potential that is involved in the underlying electromagnetic fluid movement is examined and Hamilton-Lagrange aspects of the polarized flow paths are discussed.read more

Quantum Entanglement, Bohmian Mechanics, and Humean Supervenience
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defend Lewis's metaphysical doctrine, and traditional reductionism more generally, against this alleged threat from quantum holism, by presenting the non-separability argument from entanglement.

One world, one beable
TL;DR: It is argued that Humeans about laws can treat classical and quantum wave functions on a par and that doing so yields many benefits.

The Meaning of the Wave Function: In Search of the Ontology of Quantum Mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, the ontological content of the wave function in quantum mechanics has been investigated and a new ontological interpretation of wave functions in terms of random discontinuous motion of particles has been proposed.

Our Fundamental Physical Space: An Essay on the Metaphysics of the Wave Function
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the arguments in support of 3D-fundamentalism on the basis of the dynamical structure of the quantum theory, perceptual evidence of the 3D space, and mathematical symmetries in the wave function.

Model of the Causal Interpretation of Quantum Theory in Terms of a Fluid with Irregular Fluctuations
D. Bohm,Jean-Pierre Vigier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a physical model leading to the causal interpretation of quantum theory is proposed, where a set of fields which are equivalent in many ways to a conserved fluid act on a particle-like inhomogeneity which moves with the local stream velocity of the equivalent fluid.

Polarization transfer in elastic electron scattering from nucleons and deuterons
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of polarization transfer experiments are described, including relevant formulas and numerical estimates, which appear to offer a feasible way to separate the deuteron charge and quadrupole form factors and measure the neutron and proton electric form factors.

On the intuitive understanding of nonlocality as implied by quantum theory
D. Bohm,Basil J. Hiley +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the essential new quality implied by the quantum theory is non-locality, i.e. that a system cannot be analyzed into parts whose basic properties do not depend on the state of the whole system.
