Abstract

A solution ψψ to Schrödinger's equation needs some degree of regularity in order to allow the construction of a Bohmian mechanics from the integral curves of the velocity field ℏℑ(▽ψ/mψ).\hbar \Im \left( \bigtriangledown ψ/mψ\right) . In the case of one specific non-differentiable weak solution ΨΨ we show how Bohmian trajectories can be obtained for ΨΨ from the trajectories of a sequence Ψn→Ψ.Ψ_{n}\rightarrow Ψ. (For any real tt the sequence Ψn(t,⋅)Ψ_{n}\left( t,\cdot \right) converges strongly.) The limiting trajectories no longer need to be differentiable. This suggests a way how Bohmian mechanics might work for arbitrary initial vectors ΨΨ in the Hilbert space on which the Schrödinger evolution % Ψ\mapsto e^{-iht}Ψ acts.
