Pilot wave theory

<p>In <a href="/facts/Theoretical_physics/Cs2Y12rQ">theoretical physics</a>, the pilot wave theory, also known as Bohmian mechanics, was the first known example of a <a href="/facts/Hidden-variable_theory/02QP5Dxp">hidden-variable theory</a>, presented by <a href="/facts/Louis_de_Broglie/v696wFwH">Louis de Broglie</a> in 1927. Its more modern version, the <a href="/facts/De_Broglie%25E2%2580%2593Bohm_theory/NysDBVeq">de Broglie–Bohm theory</a>, interprets <a href="/facts/Quantum_mechanics/BRc3Mzgr">quantum mechanics</a> as a <a href="/facts/Deterministic/NhvNlAbe">deterministic</a> theory, and avoids issues such as <a href="/facts/Wave_function_collapse/f7KvbBHK">wave function collapse</a>, and the paradox of <a href="/facts/Schr%25C3%25B6dinger%2527s_cat/UpNp6vVu">Schrödinger's cat</a> by being inherently <a href="/facts/Quantum_nonlocality/GUA6LlI5">nonlocal</a>.
</p><p>The de Broglie–Bohm pilot wave theory is one of several <a href="/facts/Interpretations_of_quantum_mechanics/WEjlzVPl">interpretations of (non-relativistic) quantum mechanics</a>.
