An essay submitted as part of my PGCE, discussing how recent developments in quantum theory (specifically pilot-wave theory) should be taken into account in the post-16 physics syllabus.

Pilot-wave Scalar Field Theory in the Schrödinger Representation
Wanders in Diffusion Monte Carlo
Please only download the large version once, if I get to many downloads I get charged for it. Explanation Another one on the theme of DeBroglie-Bohm Pilot wave theory. This is an animation of the velocity field associated with the superposition of the first 16 modes with equal weighting and different phases as outlined in Valentini-Westman 2005 (Proc. Roy. Soc. A). The velocity field is represented as arrows, which may only become apparent in the large version.
