I was very excited about this paper that seemed to finally disprove Bohmian mechanics: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09099-4
However, despite it appearing in the most prestigious science journal, I think the conclusion is wrong.

This paper is a nice rebuttal of the original: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.20101

This one attempts to defend Bohmian Mechanics by claiming v_x is not 0. I think it’s incorrect as well though, because it only does the calculation for the when k_1 and k_2 are real. However it’s the imaginary region that matters for this experiment: https://arxiv.org/html/2507.08049v1
