论文摘要
由于博米亚力学是明确非本地的,因此人们普遍认为,使Bohmian力学与相对论量子场理论(QFT)兼容是很困难的,即使不是不可能的。简而言之,我解释说,构建缺乏Lorentz协方差的Bohmian理论并不难,但是进行了与相对论QFT相同的可测量预测。所有要做的就是构建一个波哈理论,该理论在一个Lorentz框架中对QFT进行相同的可测量预测,因为当时的标准相对论QFT本身可以保证这些预测是Lorentz不变的。我首先用一般术语来解释这一点,然后我描述了一个简单的博学模型,该模型与基本粒子的标准模型进行了相同的可测量预测,此后,我对超出标准模型的更基本理论给出了一些暗示。最后,我介绍了一个简短的故事,讲述了我对一般物理学的看法,尤其是对博米亚力学的看法是如何随着时间而发展而来的。
Since Bohmian mechanics is explicitly nonlocal, it is widely believed that it is very hard, if not impossible, to make Bohmian mechanics compatible with relativistic quantum field theory (QFT). I explain, in simple terms, that it is not hard at all to construct a Bohmian theory that lacks Lorentz covariance, but makes the same measurable predictions as relativistic QFT. All one has to do is to construct a Bohmian theory that makes the same measurable predictions as QFT in one Lorentz frame, because then standard relativistic QFT itself guarantees that those predictions are Lorentz invariant. I first explain this in general terms, then I describe a simple Bohmian model that makes the same measurable predictions as the Standard Model of elementary particles, after which I give some hints towards a more fundamental theory beyond Standard Model. Finally, I present a short story telling how my views of fundamental physics in general, and of Bohmian mechanics in particular, evolved over time.
