Re: questions on Bohm's quantum theory

jonesrob:
Can you refer me to any papers on these details?

Please check 'empty waves' in these interesting books:
-The Wave-Particle Duality, editor Franco Selleri,
Plenum, London/NewYork, (1992).
-The Wave-Particle Dualism, eds. S. Diner, D. Fargue,
G. Lochak, F. Selleri, Reidel, Dordrecht (1984).

There are many many papers (list below is just an example)
by Franco Selleri, J.R.Croca, L.Hardy (I suppose), L.Mandel
(ie those two experiments already quoted by Carlip), etc.,
about 'empty waves'.

test the Reality of de Broglie Waves; Found of Phys. Lett. 10, 441-447,
