Abstract
The de Broglie–Bohm causal theory of quantum mechanics with spindependence
is used to determine electron trajectories when a hydrogen atom
is subjected to (semiclassical) radiation. The transition between the 1s ground
state and the 2p0 state is examined. It is found that transitions can be identified
along Bohm trajectories. The trajectories lie on invariant hyperboloid surfaces
of revolution in R3. The energy along the trajectories is also discussed in
relation to the hydrogen energy eigenvalues.
