• Abstract summary: We extend the old attempt made by Louis de broglie for interpreting quantum mechanics in realistic terms, namely the double solution. We are able to justify wave-particle duality and to explain the violations of Bell's inequalities. We reinterpret the nonlocal action at a distance presents in the pilot-wave theory.

• Abstract: In this work, we review and extend a version of the old attempt made by Louis de broglie for interpreting quantum mechanics in realistic terms, namely the double solution. In this theory quantum particles are localized waves, i.e, solitons, that are solutions of relativistic nonlinear field equations. The theory that we present here is the natural extension of this old work and relies on a strong time-symmetry requiring the presence of advanced and retarded waves converging on particles. Using this method, we are able to justify wave-particle duality and to explain the violations of Bell's inequalities. Moreover, the theory recovers the predictions of the pilot-wave theory of de Borglie and Bohm, often known as Bohmian mechanics. As a direct consequence, we reinterpret the nonlocal action at a distance presents in the pilot-wave theory. In the double solution developed here there is fundamentally no action at a distance but the theory requires a form of superdeterminism driven by time-symmetry.

  We show that pulses composed of a difference between a retarded wave and an advanced wave are capable of following quantum trajectories predicted by de Broglie-Bohm theory (also known as Bohmian mechanics) Our theory reproduces the main results of orthodox quantum mechanics and, unlike Bohmian theory, is local in the Bell sense.

  We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory. It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

• Non-Markovian wave-function collapse models are Bohmian-like theories in disguise [0.0]
  Spontaneous collapse models and Bohmian mechanics are two different solutions to the measurement problem plaguing orthodox quantum mechanics. We show that collapse models and their primitive ontology can be recast as Bohmian theories. This reformulation of collapse models as Bohmian theories brings to fore the question of whether there exists unromantic' realist interpretations of quantum theory.

A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
