Yes and yes and yes (those are all examples mentioned in the article). If you have a specific example of a quantum phenomenon that pilot wave theory doesn’t exhibit, I’d like to know. Pilot wave advocates claim that pilot wave theory results in the same predictions, although I haven’t had time to chase down sources or work this out for myself.
My knowledge of it is pretty superficial, but I’m pretty confused about how it represents states with a superposition of particle numbers. For fixed number of (non relativistic) particles you can always just put the interesting mechanics (including spin, electromagnetic charge, etc!) in the wavefunction and then add an epiphenomenal ontologically-fundamental-particle like a cherry on top. We’ll, epiphenomenal in the Von Neumann measurement paradigm, presumably advocates think it plays some role in measurement, but I’m still a bit vague on that.
Anyhow, for mixtures of particle numbers, I genuinely don’t know how a Bohmian is supposed to get anything intuitive or pseudo-classical.
