Quantum mechanics can be formulated in a deterministic framework.
Quantum mechanics can be formulated in a deterministic framework, as demonstrated by hidden-variable theories like Bohmian mechanics and recent deterministic reformulations that reproduce standard quantum predictions without acausal wave function collapse.
The provided literature strongly supports the claim that quantum mechanics can be formulated deterministically. Multiple papers (such as Bohmian mechanics formulations and novel deterministic frameworks like Unified Quantum Mechanics) explicitly show how quantum predictions, including entanglement and Bell correlations, can be derived without probabilistic collapse or abandoning determinism.
