Note(s) : Notes bibliogr. Index. - Xavier Oriols is an associate professor at the UAB. His research interests range
from quantum foundations to practical engineering of electron devices. He is the author
or coauthor of more than 140 papers and has developed the quantum electron transport
simulator, named BITLLES, based on Bohmian mechanics. Jordi Mompart, after a postdoctoral
stay at the Leibniz Universitt̃ Hannover, he became an associate professor at the
UAB.
Most textbooks explain quantum mechanics as a story where each step follows naturally
from the one preceding it. However, the development of quantum mechanics was exactly
the opposite. It was a zigzag route, full of personal disputes where scientists were
forced to abandon well-established classical concepts and to explore new and imaginative
pathways. Some of the explored routes were successful in providing new mathematical
formalisms capable of predicting experiments at the atomic scale. However, even such
successful routes were painful enough, so that relevant scientists like Albert Einstein
and Erwin Schrdinger decided not to support them. In this book, the authors demonstrate
the huge practical utility of another of these routes in explaining quantum phenomena
in many different research fields. Bohmian mechanics, the formulation of the quantum
theory pioneered by Louis de Broglie and David Bohm, offers an alternative mathematical
formulation of quantum phenomena in terms of quantum trajectories. Novel computational
tools to explore physical scenarios that are currently computationally inaccessible,
such as many-particle solutions of the Schrdinger equation, can be developed from
it
