We outline the main characteristics of its non-relativistic formulation. Most notably it does provide a simple solution to the infamous measurement problem of quantum mechanics. Presumably the most common objection against Bohmian mechanics is based on its non-locality and its apparent conflict with relativity and quantum field theory. However, several models for a quantum field theoretical generalization do exist. We give a non-technical account of some of these models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-11-02T15:28:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bohmian mechanics", "quantum mechanics", "quantum field theory", "quantum field theoretical generalization", "main characteristics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006quant.ph.11032P" } } }
