Jean-Pierre Vigier (b. 16 January 1920 d. 4 May 2004) worked closely with Louis de Broglie and David Bohm. Vigier pioneered the de Broglie-Bohm-Vigier approach to quantum physics, the causal stochastic interpretation. According to a book by Jeffers et al, his work also covered:

* The de Broglie-Bohm-Vigier Approach in Quantum Mechanics

* Model of the Causal Interpretation of Quantum Theory in Terms of a Fluid with Irregular Fluctuations
