The double slit experiment is not known to violate any Bell inequality, and thus may have a local hidden variables description. Does Bohm-Dirac theory provide a local hidden variables description for the double slit? Are there other local hidden variables descriptions for the double slit?
(If I understand correctly, a local variable is (among other things) a variable defined on ordinary space, whereas wave functions for more than one particle are necessarily nonlocal, since they are defined on Hilbert space. A wave function for one particle is potentially (but not necessarily) local, since it can be considered a wave in ordinary space.)
