EJTP V12, No 35. Breaking Bad ( News)
EJTP returns to its readers with a new load of good Physics choice after careful debate.
We believe in science as an intellectual craft, and willingly pay the price of our freedom.
I will not focus here on every single contribution, but, for personal reasons, I want
to signal the opening paper of Pisin Chen and Hagen Kleinert on foundational issues of
Quantum Mechanics. The interest of the two scholars so committed on the edge at ad-
vanced astrophysics and particle physics reminds all of us the importance of not forgetting
the foundational work, where the feet of our theories are based. It will be necessary to
go beyond the standard model in the direction of quantum gravity. On this side we also
find Khorasani, Fiscaletti, Novikov and Hansson, The latter two from the perspective of
General Relativity, whereas Addazi, Damanik and Triantaphyllou take a look beyond the
Standard Model.
Our cover is not only a tribute to a enormously successful TV series, “Breaking Bad”
by Vince Gilligan. As is known, the nickname of the protagonist, the chemist Walter
White, is “Heisenberg”. This indicates how much science has penetrated deeply in the
collective imagination, until a few years ago, the spectator reaction would be: “Heisen-
berg who?”.However, this provides a starting point for further reflections. In the story
Walter is forced to use its sophisticated chemistry to survive, becoming a cog in the
criminal system.
How much actual freedom is given to the individual scientist in the production system,
today? We do not just talk about technology, but also of science entertainment, media
science, made of few dominant theories “not even wrong”? Science is still a collective
enterprise, slow and difficult, critical and speculative, or is it the new met?

Abstract: Quantum mechanics has been one of the most successful theories in physics, yet its
foundation has remained a subject of discussion ever since it was incepted in the 1920s. While
the Copenhagen interpretation represents the main-stream view, recent years have witnessed
revived interest in the alternative deterministic, or pilot-wave, interpretation, pioneered by
Madelung, de Broglie, and Bohm. It has been argued that these two interpretations are basically
equivalent. In this article we show that this is not true. We exhibit the approximate nature of
particle trajectories in Bohm’s quantum mechanics. They follow the streamlines of a superfluid
in Madelung’s reformulation of the Schrodinger wave function, around which the proper particle
trajectories perform their quantum mechanical fluctuations that ensure Heisenberg’s uncertainty
relation between position and momentum. These fluctuations explain the apparent discrepancy
in the double-slit interference intensities between Bohmian mechanics and observations. They
are also the reason for the non-existence of a possible radiation that would be emitted by an
electron if its physical trajectory were deflected by the Bohmian quantum potential.c© Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics. All rights reserved.

1 Introduction
In modern work on quantum mechanics (QM), one often reads, as justification of the
effort, remark made by Richard Feynman in a 1964 lecture [1] that he thinks “it is safe
to say that no one understands quantum mechanics”. Similarly, Murray Gell-Mann in

his lecture at the 1976 Nobel Conference regrets that “Niels Bohr brainwashed the whole
generation of theorists into thinking that the job (of finding an adequate presentation
of quantum mechanics) was done 50 years ago” [2]. Thus there is no wonder that even
now reputable scientists are trying to get our deterministic thinking in line with quantum
theory [3].
A theory of this type has been proposed a long time ago. It is based on an observation
made as early as 1926, during the inceptive days of QM, by Madelung [4, 5]. He demon-
strated that the Schrodinger equation can be transcribed into a hydrodynamic form, in
which the Schrodinger field becomes the probability amplitude of the fluid. This was
later referred to as the “Madelung quantum hydrodynamic” interpretation. Around the
same time, de Broglie presented a deterministic interpretation of QM at the 1927 Solvay
Conference, which was further developed by Bohm in 1952 to its present form [6].
It has been long believed by the experts on foundations of quantum mechanics that
Bohmian mechanics and standard quantum mechanics are observationally equivalent [6,
7, 8, 10, 9]. They are merely different ontological interpretations on what exactly happens
to a quantum particle, say electron, in a physical process. There are two salient features in
Bohmian mechanics. One, quantum processes are inherently nonlocal, manifested by the
quantum potential that permeates the entire space-time. Two, guided by this quantum
potential, a test particle will execute deterministic motion (which Bohm called causal).
That is, the particle’s position and momentum are simultaneously specified throughout
space-time. This is in drastic contrast to the basic notion of Heisenberg’s uncertainty
principle. It therefore appears meaningful to investigate the equivalence of these two
formulations of QM in some details.
In this note we want to demonstrate that Bohmian way of doing QM is not equivalent,
but a certain semiclassical approximation to proper Schrodinger QM. To do this, we
invoke the second quantization reformulation of the Schrodinger equation as an N-body
system. Following Madelung’s original philosophy, we identify this N-body system as
a superfluid and characterize its physical properties by its particle current density Jkand its superfluid velocity Vs
k. This superfluid embodies de Broglie’s pilot wave that
guides the motion of a single particle. Under this setting, single-particle movements will
be found from fluctuating paths around the superfluid streamlines in a semi-classical
approximation. The fluctuations explain the discrepancy in the double-slit interference
intensities between that derived from Bohmian mechanics and quantum mechanics. They
are also the reason for the non-existence of a radiation that would have to be emitted by
an electron if its physical trajectory is deflected by the Bohmian quantum potential.
2 Pilot Wave
In order to elucidate our point, it is useful to invoke the second-quantized reformulation
of Schrodinger QM [12] as a functional integral over a Schrodinger field ψ(x, t) via the
