As a physicist I am telling you should not conclude that the De-Broglie-Bohm theory is tell you anything different than what comicjk said.
> The particle's characteristics ARE the wavefunction
This kind of statement is normally said to stress the fact that the best evidence and experiments indicate quantum mechanics accurately describe the physical world and even parts like superposition(single particle double slit experiment, tunneling etc) that defy more classical intuitions.
De-Broglie-Bohm theory includes the same set of non-intuitive behaviors that all valid interpretations of quantum mechanics have, in other words it is not testable different from other interpretations.

- davorak 10y agoThanks for the citation, I had not seen that recent paper(2016). Pisin Chen and Hagen Kleinert say that De-Broglie-Bohm theory does not agree with experimental results or the rest of quantum mechanics. This is surprising since there evidence of this is from a 1979 paper, their citation [15] [15] C. Philippidis, C. Dewdney and B. J. Hiley, Il Nuovo Cimento 52B, 15 (1979) can be found online(republished) at: http://www.pbx-brasil.com/FisQuan/Notas/Area01/semana041/papers/QuantumInterferenceAndTheQuantumPotential.pdf http://www.pbx-brasil.com/FisQuan/Notas/Area01/semana041/pap... I would want to do some additional research before agreeing with Pisin Chen and Hagen Kleinert that the De-Broglie-Bohm theory has been experimentally disproven. Other then combining the existing research double checking the numerical simulation and algorithms in [15] would be my approach. Pisin Chen and Hagen Kleinert paper seems to lack such an examination which would have made for a more conclusive argument.
