There are lots of works on the hidden variable.
How about the theory recently?
Thank you!

I know 't Hooft has done some work in this area during the last few years, but I don't think he (or anyone) is even close to finding a hidden variable theory that can predict the outcome of experiments as accurately as QED.
 
No new additions to the standard theory (QM) itself. As to local hidden variable theories, which are forbidden from agreeing with QM per Bell's Theorem: There are a few diehards out there who cling to the idea of a stochastic theory which has local hidden variables. Their thinking is that the standard cos^2(theta) relationship observed in experiments is an illusion, that there are experimental problems which "bias" the results. At this time, there is no seriously considered options for local hidden variable theories. There is a non-local candidate, however: Bohmian Mechanics.
 

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Thread 'Is Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory?'

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
