Abstract

In the de Broglie–Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics, the momentum of a particle in a box of perfectly reflecting walls is vanishing. On the contrary, the classical physics predicts an oscillatory motion between the walls. The resulting difference between the behavior of a body in classical and quantum regime is unsatisfactory for Einstein and many other scientists. In order to solve the problem, we show that it is possible to obtain a motion of the body using the rules of quantum mechanics. The result holds for the quantum systems described by solutions of the time independent Schr¨odinger equation that are real functions
