He developed a causal hidden-variable approach to quantum theory, often called de Broglie-Bohm theory or pilot-wave theory.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book |last=Bohm |first=David |title=Quantum Theory |publisher=Prentice-Hall |year=1951}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Bohm&#039;s interpretation revived and extended earlier pilot-wave ideas associated with [[Biography:Louis de Broglie|Louis de Broglie]]. It keeps the empirical predictions of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics while describing particles as having definite positions guided by a wavefunction.<br /> <br /> == Quantum foundations ==<br /> Bohmian mechanics became a major reference point in debates over [[Physics:Quantum Hidden variable theory|hidden-variable theory]], [[Physics:Quantum nonlocality|nonlocality]], and the measurement problem. It shows that deterministic hidden-variable theories are possible, but at the cost of explicit nonlocal structure.<br /> <br /> Bohm also contributed to the Aharonov-Bohm effect, which showed that electromagnetic potentials can have measurable quantum significance even in regions where the classical fields vanish. This result connects quantum phase, gauge structure, and [[Physics:Quantum electromagnetic field|electromagnetic fields]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Physics:Quantum Hidden variable theory]]<br /> * [[Physics:Quantum nonlocality]]<br /> * [[Physics:Quantum Bell&#039;s theorem]]<br /> * [[Biography:Louis de Broglie]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist|3}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Bohm, David}}<br /> [[Category:Quantum physicists]]<br /> [[Category:Theoretical physicists]]<br /> <br /> {{Sourceattribution|Biography:David Bohm|1}}</div> Maintenance script
