Details:

Quantum Trajectories explores the application of quantum mechanics to many-particle systems, focusing on the quantum trajectory method as a computational tool for both stationary and time-evolving states. The book emphasizes the classical interpretation of quantum mechanics through the quantum theory of motion as developed by de Bröglie and Bohm. It provides an in-depth explanation of how quantum trajectories relate to conventional quantum mechanics and offers various numerical techniques derived from the Bohmian approach.

This volume brings together contributions from an international panel of experts who delve into the epistemological significance of quantum mechanics, providing a comprehensive account of the foundations of quantum mechanics and Bohmian mechanics. It also explores the growing popularity of quantum trajectories as a computational tool, making it essential for those interested in this area of research.

Key Features:

• Introduction to the quantum theory of motion

• Connection between quantum mechanics and Bohmian mechanics

• Various numerical techniques from the Bohmian approach

• Epistemological implications of quantum trajectories
