fwiw a skim of literature shows papers that resolve Bohmian trajectories from weak measurements. E.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/0706.2522 -

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad How does a cloud chamber respond to 2-slit interference?.I think that's inconsistent with Mott scattering. At the first encounter of the charged particle with a vapor molecule something has to...

It was a solar eclipse yesterday in Europe. Here in Sweden it was partial (ca 80%, if I remember correctly). I learned about it just... -
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Why does the movement of electrons create fields?.Actually, both the electric and magnetic fields are on the same footing as part of the Maxwell's "unified" electromagnetism. Any...

Erm, the speed of light has been determined to max out at 299,792,458 m/s. There has not been any evidence that light can travel faster... -
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad How does a cloud chamber respond to 2-slit interference?.Yes it's supported, but only implicitly in the QM textbooks of which I'm aware. Consider, for example, this excerpt from chap. 5 of...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad LHC To Announce Its Lepton Universality Violation Results On Tuesday (20-Dec-2022).Given the abundance of empirical evidence for finite light-speed, what does this statement even mean?

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad How does a cloud chamber respond to 2-slit interference?.If the slits are flush with the chamber entrance, the particles immediately enter the decohering environment of the vapor-filled...

Yikes. Thanks for defending us on the front lines! -
Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad How does a cloud chamber respond to 2-slit interference?.I think finite-width slits in a matter interferometer have the same effect as in optical interference. The broader single-slit...

Rrenormalize replied to the thread Undergrad How does a cloud chamber respond to 2-slit interference?.True, but that's hard to show graphically since the lines all have constant length. In the last figure I attempt to show track-density...
