We outline the main characteristics of its non-relativistic formulation. Most notably it does provide a simple solution to the infamous measurement problem of quantum mechanics. Presumably the most common objection against Bohmian mechanics is based on its non-locality and its apparent conflict with relativity and quantum field theory. However, several models for a quantum field theoretical generalization do exist. We give a non-technical account of some of these models.enPhysics & Philosophy ; 3Bohmian mechanicsde Broglie-Bohm theoryInterpretation of quantum mechanicsquantum field theorytheory generalization100530article (journal)
