bohmian mechanics
Bohmian mechanics, also known as pilot-wave theory, is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that proposes the existence of a guiding wave associated with particles. It suggests that particles have definite positions and trajectories, as opposed to the probabilistic nature of mainstream quantum theory, while maintaining compatibility with empirical observations.
