Bohmian轨迹和以太:类比失败在哪里?
Bohmian trajectories and the ether: Where does the analogy fail?
摘要:
以太曾一度被认为是解释电磁现象的关键,但在狭义相对论出现后,以太最终被抛弃了。量子力学的实在论解释方案缺乏经验签名,就像玻姆轨迹一样,这使得一些人得出结论,就像以太一样,它们可以被取消,取而代之的是相应出现的信息概念。虽然像玻姆轨道和以太这样的装置确实提供了重要的类比,但我认为也有一个关键的区别,与量子力学的不同解释功能有关。
英文摘要:
Once considered essential to the explanation of electromagnetic phenomena, the ether was eventually discarded after the advent of special relativity. The lack of empirical signature of realist interpretative schemes of quantum mechanics, like Bohmian trajectories, has led some to conclude that, just like the ether, they can be dispensed with, replaced by the corresponding emergence of the concept of information. Although devices like Bohmian trajectories and the ether do present important analogies, I argue that there is also a crucial difference, related to distinct explanatory functions of quantum mechanics.
