Basil Hiley is a biographical subject in the ScholarlyWiki science collection. Basil James Hiley (15 November 1935 – 25 January 2025) was a British physicist and professor emeritus of the University of London. Long-time colleague of David Bohm, Hiley is known for his work with Bohm on implicate orders and for his work on algebraic descriptions of quantum mechanics in terms of underlying symplectic and orthogonal Clifford algebras.[1]
Work and context
Hiley co-authored the book The Undivided Universe with David Bohm, which is considered the main reference for Bohmian mechanics. The work of Bohm and Hiley has been characterized as primarily addressing the question "whether we can have an adequate conception of the reality of a quantum system, be this causal or be it stochastic or be it of any other nature" and meeting the scientific challenge of providing a mathematical description of quantum systems that matches the idea of an implicate order.
