The claim of Kocsis et al. to have experimentally determined "photon trajectories" calls for a re-examination of the meaning of "quantum trajectories". We will review the arguments that have been assumed to have established that a trajectory has no meaning in the context of quantum mechanics. We show that the conclusion that the Bohm trajectories should be called "surreal" because they are at "variance with the actual observed track" of a particle is wrong as it is based on a false argument. We also present the results of a numerical investigation of a double Stern-Gerlach experiment which shows clearly the role of the spin within the Bohm formalism and discuss situations where the appearance of the quantum potential is open to direct experimental exploration.
科西斯等人声称已通过实验确定了“光子轨迹”,这就需要重新审视“量子轨迹”的含义。我们将回顾那些被认为已确立的观点,即在量子力学背景下轨迹没有意义的相关论证。我们表明,认为玻姆轨迹应被称为“超现实的”这一结论是错误的,因为它基于错误的论证,该结论认为玻姆轨迹与粒子“实际观测轨迹”不一致。我们还展示了对双斯特恩 - 盖拉赫实验的数值研究结果,该结果清晰地显示了自旋在玻姆形式体系中的作用,并讨论了量子势的出现可直接进行实验探索的情况。
