A strange feature of Bohm's Theory of quantum motion

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

In the Bohm picture and one-dimensional case, we show that given an adequately chosen potential for characterising obstacles, one can derive laws of motion formally identical to that of special relativity. In such a hypothetical scheme, superluminal velocities are not forbidden, but a particle cannot collide with an obstacle with an average, superluminal velocity.
