En la literatura, es habitual encontrar caracterizaciones de la mecánica bohmiana como una interpretación más de la mecánica cuántica. Esta perspectiva resulta simplificadora en exceso. En este artículo, defiendo un enfoque alternativo de acuerdo con el cual la mecánica bohmiana es una teoría que puede ser interpretada de modos muy diversos. Tras caracterizar la divisoria interpretativa entre los enfoques de guía y del potencial cuántico de la mecánica bohmiana, muestro cómo diferentes interpretaciones de la teoría se corresponden con ontologías o mundos bohmianos radicalmente diferentes e incompatibles. Más concretamente, discuto la posibilidad de interpretaciones de la teoría compatibles con una ontología puramente tridimensional, y exploro las principales posibilidades interpretativas en relación con las propiedades que cabe atribuir a los corpúsculos bohmianos. Finalmente, a través de la comparación entre los mundos bohmianos elucidados, muestro que la elección de interpretación en mecánica bohmiana es tan relevante filosóficamente como lo es en mecánica cuántica.Descargas
