Causal Interpretation and Quantum Phase Space

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We show that the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation can be easily implemented in quantum phase space through the method of quasi-distributions. This method establishes a connection with the formalism of the Wigner function. As a by-product, we obtain the rules for evaluating the expectation values and probabilities associated with a general observable in the de Broglie-Bohm formulation. Finally, we discuss some aspects of the dynamics.
