Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews: "In this extremely important and well-written book is that there is indeed a genuine problem with ordinary quantum mechanics, but also that there is a solution. ! It offers a detailed, pedagogical, and comprehensive discussion of a solution to the conceptual problems of quantum mechanics: Bohmian mechanics. ! This book contains a lot more than the best existing exposition of Bohm's theory. ! it also contains a lot of good philosophical observations." (Jean Bricmont, Metascience, Vol. 20 (1), March, 2011) "This book is both an introduction to and a case for Bohmian quantum mechanics. It attempts to expose the myths surrounding the approach and to clarify its formal and physical basis. ! It is certainly the best book on the Bohmian approach currently on the market ! ."
