Modified Bohms Dynamics: A Stable Version
Abstract
Recently, it has been shown that the quantum equilibrium distribution in the original Bohm's model is unstable and so it isn't a tenable physical theory [Proc. R. Soc. A 470 20140288 (2014)]. In this paper we show that a natural modification of the Bohm's quantum force leads to a stable quantum equilibrium without any change to statistical predictions of this model in equilibrium state. Moreover, it is shown that an initial non-equilibrium phase space distribution relaxes to equilibrium distribution via a coarse grained H-theorem. But before end of the relaxation process, for example in the early universe, this modified quantum force can lead to the new predictions beyond standard quantum mechanics.
