Bohmian mechanics provides an explanation of quantum phenomena in terms of point-like
particles guided by wave functions. This review focuses on the use of nonrelativistic …

Recent developments and achievements in the theoretical interpretation of inelastic
scattering of thermal energy beams of He and other noble gas atoms from surfaces are …

In the 1970s, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was borrowed from physics and adapted to
chemistry by a handful of visionaries. Now chemical DFT is a diverse and rapidly growing …

Interference is one of the most fundamental features which characterizes quantum systems.
Here we provide an exhaustive analysis of the interfere dynamics associated with wave …

Diffraction and interference of matter waves are key phenomena in quantum mechanics.
Here we present some results on particle diffraction in a wide variety of situations, ranging …

A novel time-dependent hybrid quantum/classical propagation scheme based on Bohmian
quantum trajectories is presented. The quantum subsystem is described by a wave packet …

Elastic atom–surface scattering is a complex, non-linear dynamical process. In this work, a
description of the underlying dynamics in terms of classical and quantum trajectories is …

Grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) at surfaces has made rapid progress and
has established itself as a surface analysis tool where effective energy E⊥ of the motion …

In David Bohm's causal/trajectory interpretation of quantum mechanics, a physical system is
regarded as consisting of both a particle and a wavefunction, where the latter “pilots” the …

A well-known phenomenon in both optics and quantum mechanics is the so-called Talbot
effect. This near field interference effect arises when infinitely periodic diffracting structures …
