AI 中文摘要

量子力学的标准诠释不赋予粒子确定的轨迹,而玻姆诠释则相反。直到最近,才提出了一种使玻姆力学与相对论相协调的可操作方法。本研究在迈克尔逊-萨格纳克干涉仪中实验重构了单光子的相对论玻姆轨迹,其中反向传播的概率振幅以光速迎面干涉。正如相对论玻姆理论所预测的,我们观测到光子穿过条纹时,其玻姆轨迹存在亚光速和超光速特征。本工作为实验获取相对论玻姆力学提供了途径,使其不同寻常且违背直觉的特性得以探索。

英文摘要

While the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics does not assign definite trajectories to particles, the Bohmian interpretation does. Only recently has an operational method for reconciling Bohmian mechanics with relativity been proposed. Here, we experimentally reconstruct relativistic Bohmian trajectories of a single photon in a Michelson-Sagnac interferometer, where counter-propagating probability amplitudes interfere head-on at the speed of light. As predicted by the relativistic Bohmian theory, we observe subluminal and superluminal features of the Bohmian trajectories of the photon traversing through the fringes. Our work provides experimental access to relativistic Bohmian mechanics and enables exploration of its unusual and counterintuitive properties.
