Pilot Wave Theory in the Twenty-First Century
Castro, Paulo; W. M. Bush, John; Croca, José R.This book is the result of the International Conference on Advances in Pilot Wave Theory, hosted by the Centre for Philosophy of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (CFCUL), Portugal, held from 26 to 30 July 2021 (International Conference on Advances in Pilot Wave Theory—Concurrently Hosting Hydrodynamic Quantum Analogs HQA-2021 n.d.; Advances in Pilot Wave Theory & HQA2021—YouTube n.d.). The conference concur...
A Pilot-Wave Gravity and the Titius-Bode Law
Croca, José R.; Castro, Paulo; Gatta, Mário; Cardoso, António; Moreira, RuiSince its initial proposal in 1766, Titius-Bode empirical law has remained a puzzling source of discomfort as it predicts the average distances from the planets to the Sun for no apparent reason. Using a framework analogous to de Broglie’s pilot wave theory and the self-organizing Principle of Eurhythmy, we claim that several main physical quantities describing the Solar System are quantified. Hence the Titius-...
The quantum eraser does not always erase
Cardoso, António; Cordovil, João L.; Croca, José R.In this paper we will first look at a particular quantum eraser setup to show that this type of experiments can be understood in an intuitive manner if we are willing to take a complex nonlinear approach, without the need to invoke Niels Bohr’s complementarity or quantum entanglement between two particles. We will then discuss a recent experiment of the same type that does not erase the interference pattern whe...
Interaction-Free Measurements: A Complex Nonlinear Explanation
Cardoso, António; Cordovil, João L.; Croca, José R.In this paper we show that interaction-free measurements, which have been object of much discussion in the last few decades, can be explained in a natural and intuitive way in the framework of complex nonlinear quantum physics, contrary to what is claimed by some orthodox authors that present them as incomprehensible, mind-boggling experiments.
