Abstract

In 1952 David Bohm suggested a new interpretation of Quantum Mechanics showing explicitly how the indeterministic description of non relativistic wave mechanics could be trasformed into a deterministic one. The essential idea of this interpretation had been advanced by de Broglie in 1927. We present the basic tenets of Bohm theory at the light of Bohmian mechanics approach of D. Dürr, S. Goldstein and N. Zanghì.
