Abstract

Quantum trajectories are used to study OPERA findings regarding superluminal neutrinos. As the applicable stationary quantum Klein-Gordon equation is real, real quantum reduced actions and subsequent real quantum trajectories follow. The requirements for superluminal neutrinos are examined. A neutrino that is self-entangled by its own backscatter is shown to have a nonlocal quantum trajectory that may generate a superluminal transit time. Various cases are shown to produce theoretical superluminal neutrinos consistent with OPERA neutrinos. Quantum trajectories are also shown to provide insight into neutrino oscillations.
