describe bohm's hidden variable model for quantum physics. what is the main feature that distinguishes it from Einstein's vision?
Bohm's Hidden Variable Model: Distinguishing from Einstein's Vision

In summary, Bohm's Hidden Variable Model is a theory proposed by physicist David Bohm as an alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. It suggests that particles have hidden variables that determine their behavior and that the uncertainty in quantum mechanics is due to our lack of knowledge about these variables. This differs from Einstein's vision of quantum mechanics, which proposed that these hidden variables are determined at the moment of creation and cannot be influenced by outside factors. While there have been experiments conducted to test this theory, it is not widely accepted by the scientific community and remains controversial. If proven to be true, it could have significant implications for our understanding of reality and could have practical applications in fields such as quantum computing and communication.

it's non-local.
and in any case, Einstein believed a unified field theory was the only possible solution to fully understanding Quantum Mechanics, in a letter to Born he described Bohm's Theory as "too cheap".

)Related to Bohm's Hidden Variable Model: Distinguishing from Einstein's Vision
1. What is Bohm's Hidden Variable Model?
Bohm's Hidden Variable Model is a theory proposed by physicist David Bohm in the 1950s as an alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. It suggests that particles have hidden variables that determine their behavior and that the uncertainty in quantum mechanics is due to our lack of knowledge about these variables.
2. How does Bohm's Hidden Variable Model differ from Einstein's vision of quantum mechanics?
Einstein's vision of quantum mechanics, also known as the local hidden variable theory, proposed that particles have hidden variables that determine their behavior, but these variables are determined at the moment of creation and cannot be influenced by outside factors. Bohm's Hidden Variable Model, on the other hand, allows for the possibility of these variables being influenced by external factors.
3. Can Bohm's Hidden Variable Model be tested experimentally?
Yes, there have been several experiments conducted to test the predictions of Bohm's Hidden Variable Model. These experiments have shown mixed results, with some supporting the theory and others contradicting it.
4. What are some potential implications of Bohm's Hidden Variable Model?
If Bohm's Hidden Variable Model is proven to be true, it could have significant implications for our understanding of reality and the nature of the universe. It could also have practical applications in fields such as quantum computing and communication.
5. Is Bohm's Hidden Variable Model widely accepted by the scientific community?
No, Bohm's Hidden Variable Model is a controversial theory and is not widely accepted by the scientific community. Many physicists argue that it is not necessary to introduce hidden variables to explain the behavior of particles in quantum mechanics and that it goes against the principles of Occam's razor.
