Abstract
Standard quantum mechanics famously disallows to simultaneously measure particle position and momentum with arbitrary precision. In contrast, Bohmian mechanics, a hidden-variable interpretation, at the same time ascribes reality to the positions and momenta of quantum particles at the cost of a non-local ontology [1]. It thus allows to conceive of definite particle trajectories, while being fully compatible with the standard theory in all empirical predictions. To record such trajectories [2] we consider two optical settings using weak measurements in order to investigate different features of particle propagation in the Bohmian picture.
