Suggested Reading and other Material:

Prof. Dürr wrote an introductory book on Bohmian Mechanics (in English), which also covers classical mechanics and electromagnetism:
  • Dürr, Teufel: Bohmian Mechanics - The Physics and Mathematics of Quantum Theory, Springer
There is also an older, german version:
  • Dürr: Bohmsche Mechanik als Grundlage der Quantenmechanik, Springer
Both books can be found in the library.
There are a couple of videos about Bohmian Mechanics, produced by current and former members of our work group; as well as various lectures: Schrödinger's paper with the famous cat paradox: The website of the research community on Bohmian Mechanics offers several videos, simulations and lots of reading material: Schrödinger's essay on irreversibility, contains James' prison story. The paper by Ward Struyve proving the uniqueness of the equivariant measure in Bohmian mechanics.
