- Abstract: In order to celebrate this double birthday the journal Foundations of Physics
publishes a topical collection `Pilot-wave and beyond' on the developments that
have followed the pioneering works of Louis de Broglie and David Bohm on
quantum foundations. This topical collection includes contributions from
physicists and philosophers debating around the world about the scientific
legacy of Bohm and de Broglie concerning the interpretation and understanding
of quantum mechanics. In these forewords we give a general review of the
historical context explaining how de Broglie and Bohm developed their
interpretations of quantum mechanics. We further analyze the relationship
between these two great thinkers and emphasize the role of several
collaborators and continuators of their ontological approach to physics.

We stress how the first-class phase-space constraints may be relaxed if we interpret them as fixing the values of new degrees of freedom.

This essay focuses on the relations between aesthetics and motivation, primarily in quantum physics, focusing on the notions of play, beauty, and the joy of insight.
The motivating role of these notions is examined both historically among the quantum pioneers and contemporarily, based on a series of interviews, among physicists associated with the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen.

We analyze the behavior of both genuine multipartite entanglement and quantum coherence under Lorentz boosts.
A given combination of these quantum resources is shown to form a Lorentz invariant.

Bohr was the first who pointed to contextuality of quantum measurements.
The original Bohr's contextuality, as contextuality of each quantum measurement, was practically forgotten.
This note is applied to formalization of Bohr's contextuality within the the scheme of indirect measurements.
