Numerical simulations in Bohmian mechanics

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around numerical simulations in Bohmian mechanics, particularly focusing on the simulation of quantum equilibrium and its relation to Born's rule. Participants explore various standard experimental situations, including the Stern-Gerlach experiment, the double slit experiment, and long-distance entanglement experiments.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the current knowledge regarding numerical simulations of Born's rule and specific experimental situations in Bohmian mechanics.
  • Another participant provides a link to a paper that may contain relevant information, suggesting it references Dewdney's work.
  • A third participant shares a link to a paper discussing Bohmian trajectories specifically for the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
  • A later reply expresses caution regarding the credibility of MDPI publications, referencing controversies associated with the publisher.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not appear to reach a consensus, as participants present differing views on the reliability of sources and the state of knowledge regarding numerical simulations in Bohmian mechanics.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include potential biases regarding the credibility of certain publications and the need for further reading to fully understand the implications of the cited works.

TL;DR
I want to find out about the literature on the topic in the title
With respect to the following posts from a now closed thread,
which are about simulating quantum equilibrium in Bohmian mechanics, I wonder what is known about numerical simulations of Born's rule and of standard experimental situations like the Stern-Gerlach experiment, the double slit, or long-distance entanglement experiments.
