Abstract
Consider the equations of motion of Bohmian mechanics for a system of N particles with masses m 1,..., m N , moving in physical space ℝ3: the wave function Nt evolves according to Schrödinger’s equation
, and the configuration Q = (Q 1,..., Q N) ∈ ℝ3N, with Q k ∈ ℝ3 denoting the position of the k-th particle, evolves according to Bohm’s equation
, where the velocity field \(v^\psi = \left( {{\text{v}}_1^\psi , \ldots ,{\text{v}}_N^\psi } \right)\) is determined by the wave function Ψ
.
