Why is entanglement not explainable by pilot waves theory?

It has been demonstrated (physically and mathematically) that Bohmian mechanics (pilot waves) produce the same statistical results for the following phenomena: Double slit banding Tunneling ...

Why is Pilot Wave Theory nonlocal?

I have read that the Pilot Wave Theory is nonlocal and can therefore be excluded. Why is the PW Theory nonlocal? Isn't QM also nonlocal, as we can see it from entanglement? I already googled the ...

How does the superposition of states come up in Bohmian Mechanics?

In Bohmian Mechanics, it assumes a universal wave field in which particle's motion can be calculated using Newton's law of motion: \begin{equation} m\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} = - \nabla(V+U) \end{...

Pilot waves and quantum eraser; pilot wave simulation

I recently watched this video about the quantum eraser experiment on PBS spacetime: Link. Has an experiment like the quantum eraser been tried with the pilot wave theory, ie bouncing droplet ...

Couder-Fort Oil Bath Experiments and Quantum Entanglement Phenomena

The oil bath experiments of Couder and Fort have been able to reproduce various "pilot wave like" quantum behavior on a macroscopic scale. Particularly striking is the fact that the double-slit ...
