| contents | We re-analyze a recent experiment by Sharoglazova et al. highlighting the role of the transient regime. We prove that in the evanescent state of the stationary regime their experimental data can be interpreted in terms of Bohmian quantum mechanics. At the same time, Bohm's quantum potential can be re-interpreted as a kinetic-energy term in the framework of Nelson's stochastic quantum mechanics, with a hidden-variable, non-classical, speed fitting the experimental data as well. The experiment can be interpreted as well within orthodox quantum mechanics and is therefore not conclusive in selecting or challenging any framework. |
