Abstract
The method of calculating particle trajectories, using the quantum-potential model, is reviewed and some pertinent details for the two-slit interference experiment, the Aharonov-Bohm effect, and barrier penetration are presented. The implications of this model are discussed and contrasted with the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics and with the classical paradigm. The model is then applied to the act of measurement and it is shown how, if irreversibility is included, no collapse problem arises.
