- Summary:
- Bohmian mechanics is a deterministic theory of point particles in motion. While avoiding all the paradoxes of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, it yields the quantum formalism itself--especially the role of self-adjoint operators--as a macroscopic measurement formalism. As an 'application' it is shown that much of the confusion connected with the phase operator for the electromagnetic field arises from a misunderstanding of the role of operators in quantum theory.
