The Untold Story of Louis De Broglie's Departure from Quantum Theory
Louis de Broglie's pilot wave theory, which suggests quantum particles are guided by a wave, was initially abandoned by de Broglie due to its abstract nature and complexity. Despite this, the theory was later revived by David Bohm and continues to challenge traditional quantum interpretations like the Copenhagen interpretation. De Broglie's work remains influential, with ongoing research into both his pilot wave theory and his later "double solution theory," which aimed for a more intuitive understanding of quantum phenomena.
