Bohmian quantum mechanics revisited
Abstract
By expressing the Schr\"odinger wave function in the form , where and are real functions, we have shown that the expectation value of is conserved. The amplitude of the wave () is found to satisfy the Schr\"odinger equation while the phase () is related to the energy conservation. Besides the quantum potential that depends on , \emph{viz.}, \,, we have obtained a phase potential that depends on the phase derivative. The phase force is a dissipative force. The quantum potential may be attributed to the interaction between the two subfields and comprising the quantum particle. This results in splitting (creation/annihilation) of these subfields, each having a mass with an internal frequency of , satisfying the original wave equation and endowing the particle its quantum nature. The mass of one subfield reflects the interaction with the other subfield. If in Bohmian ansatz satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation, then must satisfies the wave equation. Conversely, if satisfies the wave equation, then yields the Einstein relativistic energy momentum equation.
