    I put this in general science by accident, sorry about that might be better here

    De Broglie - Bohm (dBB) theory is a deterministic theory, built for reproducing almost all Quantum Mechanics (QM) predictions, where position plays the role of a hidden variable. It was recently shown that different coincidence patterns are predicted by QM and dBB when a double slit experiment is realised under specific conditions and, therefore, an experiment can test the two theories. In this letter we present the first realisation of such a double slit experiment by using correlated photons produced in type I Parametric Down Conversion. Our results confirm QM contradicting dBB predictions.

    After reading a bit I was just wondering if the assymmetry of the 2 spots was on the left or the right hand side of the midline?

    Would this mean that the super- Schrodinger equation would be way off in it's predictions?

    Does this mean someone will have to make up some new interaction terms for oscillators?
