Proposal for an Experiment to Test the Guidance of a Wave Component within the de Broglie–Bohm Theory
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper proposes a double-slit experiment designed to test a hypothetical extension ofthe de Broglie–Bohm theory. The hypothesis investigated is that a component associated withthe wave function, referred to here as a “wave component”, could be guided by external opticaldevices independently of the photon itself. This contribution is modeled as a modification ofthe wave-function input entering Bohm’s guiding equation. To the best of my knowledge, noexperimental setup explicitly investigates a mechanism of this type involving the capture andreinjection of a wave-function-related contribution through an external optical system.
