A possible unification of the Copenhagen and the Bohm interpretations using local realism

• It is well-known in the physics community that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics is very different from the Bohm interpretation. Usually, a local realistic model is thought to be even further from these two, as in its purest form it cannot even yield the probabilities from quantum mechanics by the Bell theorem. Nevertheless, by utilizing the “efficiency loophole” such a model can mimic the quantum probabilities, and more importantly, in this paper it is shown that it is possible to interpret this latter kind of local realistic model such that it contains elements of reality as found in the Bohm interpretation, while retaining the complementarity present in the Copenhagen interpretation.
