This book provides a state-of-the-art review of Pilot Wave Theory at the beginning of the XXI century. It contains the best contributions of the first International Conference on Advances in Pilot Wave Theory, held in Lisbon in 2021. The event brought together physicists from the new emerging field of Hydrodynamic Quantum Analogs (HQA) and philosophers of science. Three main themes were discussed: 1. Hydrodynamic quantum analogs, 2. Theoretical advances in pilot wave physics and, 3. Philosophical foundations of pilot wave theory. Recent experimental work in HQA has provided impetus to develop the pilot-wave approach into a realistic basis of quantum mechanics, specifically a dynamical completion of the existing theory of quantum statistics. To that end, the meeting featured theoretical work that advanced Louis de Broglie original pilot wave theory. This collection shows how several aspects of quantum systems have been reproduced in the hydrodynamic environment, and how the power of analogy suggests the possibility of a relatively intelligible quantum realm. Most notably, the notion of memory, as engendered in the pilot-wave-hydrodynamic system, suggests a profitable direction to explore in developing a more complete description of quantum phenomena. This book is expected to be of great interest to physicists, computer scientists and philosophers of science interested in the foundations of Quantum Mechanics.

Paulo Castro studied Physics at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon and moved to the Humanities where he graduated in Anthropology at the University Nova de Lisboa in 1996. He holds a PhD in the philosophy of contemporary thought from the University Lusófona of Humanities and Technologies. In 2015 he joined the Philosophy of Natural Sciences Research Group, at the Centre for Philosophy of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, working on the philosophy of nonlinear Quantum Mechanics.
John W. M. Bush is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at MIT. He completed his BSc and MSc in Physics at the University of Toronto and his PhD in Geophysics at Harvard University, before pursuing postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge’s DAMTP. He joined the faculty of MIT in 1998, was tenured in 2004 and now directs the Applied Mathematics Laboratory. His research began in geophysics, but then shifted towards surface-tension-driven phenomena and their applications in biology. For the past decade, his research has been focused on hydrodynamic quantum analogs.
José Croca directed the Research Group on the Foundations of Quantum Physics at the Centre for Philosophy of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. Held a teaching position at the Department of Physics of the University of Lisbon. Did his PhD in 1985 at the University of Lisbon under the supervision of J. Andrade e Silva, one of the most direct collaborators of Louis de Broglie. Did postgraduate research at the University of Bari with Professor Franco Selleri. He is the author of innumerous scientific books, papers and talks in international conferences about nonlinear causal quantum physics. He has proposed several experiments to detect quantum waves and introduced a non-linear Schrödinger equation and its wavelet-based set of generalized uncertainty relations, from which Heisenberg’s result as a particular case. Founding member of the Centre for Philosophy of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Brook Bookstore On Demand, Bristol, United Kingdom, +39 3485885209, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
