Bohmian Trajectories with New Slit

In summary, a Bohmian trajectory is a theoretical concept that describes the motion of particles in a quantum system, proposed by physicist David Bohm. The "New Slit" experiment allows for a more precise measurement of particle positions and momentums, which can then be used to calculate Bohmian trajectories. This interpretation of quantum mechanics offers a more intuitive understanding of particles having definite positions and velocities, but it is still a subject of debate among scientists. While there have been experiments that have observed the behavior of particles in a system with a New Slit, the concept is not widely accepted in the scientific community and remains a topic of ongoing research and discussion.

Hi,

I've seen these depictions of Bohmian trajectories and I was wondering what would happen to these trajectories once another slit is opened. Do they get "reconfigured"? Do they all change and adapt to accommodate the trajectories coming from the newly opened slit?

They get reconfigured. Technically, they do not accommodate to the new trajectories, but to the new wave function.
