However, it requires non-locality (instantaneous action across vast distances). From a recent paper [2]: &quot;Bohmian mechanics reproduces all statistical predictions of quantum mechanics, which ensures that entanglement cannot be used for superluminal signaling. However, individual Bohmian particles can experience superluminal influences.&quot; This paper [3] referenced in the Ars Technica article shows that finite superluminal velocities (c &lt; v &lt; inf) can be exploited to achieve…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1207.2794/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
