  1. Beyond the theory / wrapping up Wouter Valentin

  2. Intro • Know a tremendous lot of a lot. • Do not withdraw. Engage. • Opaque from the outside. • Towards clear understanding • The theory from far away • Benefits and dificulties • A textbook or a movie

  3. The theory from lightyears away (part 1) • Testing the theory (Peter Riggs, Antony Valentini, Herman Batelaan, Christos Efthimiopoulos, Enrico Prati) • Relevance of the theory to philosophy (Paavo Pylkkanen) • Connecting or comparing the theory with other theories (e.g. field theory or many-worlds) (Nelson Pinto-Neto, Hrvoje Nikolic, Lev Vaidman, James Yearsley) • Using the theory for calculations and computations (Mike Towler, Alberto Montina, Xavier Oriols, Joshua Rosaler)

  4. The theory from lightyears away (part 2) • Mathematical foundations for the theory (Lucien Hardy, Rafael Sorkin, Ilja Schmelzer, Basil Hiley) • Making the theory work in experiments (Anton Ramsak, Mike Towler) • Looking for explanations of observed phenomena in other fields (John Bush) • Developing the theory theoretically (Travis Norsen, Antony Valentini, Ward Struyve, Patrick Peter)

  5. Benefits and difficulties of the theory • DeBroglie-Bohm theory can possibly do what other theories can’t. • Quicker computations • Non-locality as key assumption • Causal phenomena • Extensibility of the theory • Interpretations under debate (Fine) • Wave causes motion of particle, particle does not affect wave • Or is there no particle? Or, no time?

  6. To newcomers • Problems that are actually easier to solve in deBB? • Visualization tool: bouncing droplets • Simulation of trajectories • Faster computation of trajectories • Overarching algebraic structure

  7. A book or a movie Being proactive to stimulate students

  8. Too early for this? Or wrong? Why? Development of the theory? Education of the students? Or…?
