This event is a celebration of the 70th year of David Bohm’s papers A suggested interpretation of the quantum theory in terms of hidden variables Part I & II published in January 1952 in the prestigious Physical Review, where he proposed the very first alternative formulation of quantum mechanics. These essays not only contributed fundamentally to the interpretational debate which is still ongoing today, but also their content is still widely discussed and studied. In this one-day workshop six scholars whose research is influenced by or based on Bohm’s works will speak about the philosophy, history and physics of the pilot-wave theory and its recent developments.
