Abstract

In this investigation, we have considered two thought experiments to make a comparison between predictions of the standard and the Bohmian quantum mechanics. Concerning this, a two-particle system has been studied at two various situations of the entangled and the unentangled states. In the first experiment, the two theories can predict different results at the individual level, while their statistical results are the same. In the other experiment, not only they are in disagreement at the individual level, but their equivalence at the statistical level also breaks down, if one uses selective detection. Furthermore, we discuss about some objections that can be raised against the results of the two suggested experiments.
