David Bohm

Bohm proposed a pilot-wave interpretation in 1952, often called Bohmian mechanics. It treats particles as having definite positions guided by a wave function.

It is named after Yakir Aharonov and David Bohm. The effect shows that electromagnetic potentials can influence quantum particles even in regions where the classical fields are zero.

His hidden-variable approach challenged the Copenhagen interpretation that dominated mid-20th-century quantum theory. Bohm's 1952 work later became important to foundations of physics, especially debates about nonlocality.

No. Bohm also wrote about thought, dialogue, and wholeness, including the book Wholeness and the Implicate Order from 1980.
