Couder and E.

We revisited this question when we found that a droplet bouncing on a vibrated bath could become self-propelled by its coupling to the surface waves it excites. A dynamical wave-particle association is thus formed. Through several experiments we addressed the same general question. How can a localized and discrete droplet have a common dynamics with a continuous and spatially extended wave? Surprisingly several quantum-like behaviours emerge;; a form of uncertainty and a form of quantization are observed. I will show that both properties are related to the "path memory" contained in the wave field. The relation of this experiment with the pilot-wave models proposed by de Broglie and by Bohm for quantum mechanics will be discussed. All are warmly invited to attend the lecture and reception that follows.
