- Abstract: We calculate the time of arrival probability distribution of a quantum particle using the Bohmian formalism. The pilot-wave is given by the wave function of the one dimensional vacuum squeezed state but written in the Schr\"odinger representation. We made use of the unitary representation of the symplectic group in the Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. The solution to the Bohmian equations are analytical function thus allowing for a closed expression of the time of arrival distribution which differs from the counterparts in the standard quantum mechanics formulation.

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.

The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes.
We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator.
As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

Bohmian mechanics is a deterministic theory of quantum mechanics.
It is not applicable to stationary states, since the velocity field for stationary states is the zero function.
An alternative to Bohmian mechanics has been formulated, based on a conservation of energy equation.

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.
