Rather than particles and waves being incomplete, contradictory, “complementary” pictures of the quantum, de Broglie offered a quantum world where particles and waves lived in a peaceful coexistence, with particles surfing along “pilot waves” that govern their motion—anticipating Bohm’s interpretation of quantum physics a quarter century later. De Broglie’s particles moved in an entirely deterministic way, despite Born’s statistical rule identifying the wave function as a tool for calculating probabilities. Yet the particles satisfied Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, because their paths
