A COMPLETE RE-DERIVATION OF THE HIDDEN VARIABLE EQUATION IN DAVID BOHM’S 1952 PAPERS

Abstract

Schrodinger’s equation is a basic mathematical expression for a single particle in quantum mechanics. However, its physical meaning has never been assigned in any standard quantum mechanics text book. Here, a detailed complete re-derivation of hidden variable equation in David Bohm’s 1952 papers is given to assign some physical meanings to Schrodinger’s equation. This work shows some required detailed transformation of Schrodinger’s Equation into a form of Newtonian second law of motion with definite trajectory with some initial conditions given. All the quantum effects come from the single localized term called the quantum potential.
