Bohm Trajectories as Approximations to Properly Fluctuating Quantum Trajectories

Quantum Physics 2013-08-26 v1 Statistical Mechanics High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We explain the approximate nature of particle trajectories in Bohm's quantum mechanics. They are streamlines of a superfluid in Madelung's reformulation of the Schr\"{o}dinger wave function, around which the proper particle trajectories perform their quantum mechanical fluctuations to ensure Heisenberg's uncertainty relation between position and momentum.
