Abstract

In this work celebrating the centenary of quantum mechanics, we rewiev the principles of de Broglie Bohm theory, also known as pilot-wave theory and Bohmian mechanics. We assess the most common reading of it (the Nomological interpretation based on the notion of primitive ontology in tridimensional space) and defend instead a more causal and pluralistic approach, drawing on classical analogies with optics and hydrodynamics. Within this framework, we review some of the approaches exploiting mechanical analogies to overcome the limitations of current Bohmian theory and perhaps quantum mechanics itself.<br />Comment: Review article, submitted for publication
