Protective measurements and the meaning of the wave function in the de Broglie-Bohm theory
Abstract
There are three possible interpretations of the wave function in the de Broglie-Bohm theory: taking the wave function as corresponding to a physical entity or a property of the Bohmian particles or a law. In this paper, we argue that the first interpretation is favored by an analysis of protective measurements.Author's Profile
