Antony Valentini''s principal research interests lie in foundations of quantum theory. His central tenet is that quantum theory is not fundamental but merely describes a statistical equilibrium state, which the universe happens to be in at the present time. He has extended the de Broglie-Bohm pilot-wave formulation of quantum theory to nonequilibrium distributions outside the domain of standard quantum physics, and is searching for evidence of the nonequilibrium breakdown of quantum mechanics in the early universe.
