Response to 'Comment on Bohmian mechanics with complex action: A new trajectory-based formulation of quantum mechanics' ' [J. Chem. Phys. 127, 197101 (2007)]

摘要

In their comment, Sanz and Miret-Artes (SMA) raise two issues. The first is a discussion of trajectory-based formalisms based on the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, where they invoke a number of antecedents to our paper. Most of these antecedents were, in fact, mentioned in our original article1 (henceforth GDT), but this response gives an excellent opportunity to highlight the significant differences between our work and the antecedents. The second issue raised by SMA is how the term locality should be used in quantum mechanics. We suggest that at least certain aspects of nonlocality can depend on the method used to solve the problem.
