We introduce a pedagogical discussion on Bohmian mechanics and its physical implications in connection with the important role played by the quantum phase in the dynamics of quantum processes. In particular, we focus on phenomena such as quantum coherence, diffraction, and interference, due to their historical relevance in the development of the quantum theory and their key role in a myriad of fundamental and applied problems of current interest.

Bohmian mechanics is also referred to in the literature as de Broglie-Bohm theory, pilot-wave theory, and de Broglie-Bohm-Madelung-Takabayasi theory, as well as the so-called causal, ontological, or hydrodynamical interpretation of quantum mechanics. Here, we have used the term Bohmian mechanics, in order to highlight more explicitly the mechanical explanation it provides of quantum phenomena, just like classical mechanics does of classical phenomena.
