No. Quantum field theories and their vacuum state has nothing to do with pilot wave theory (PWT).

PWT is oddly popular amongst internet people, but is just a mathematical transformation of the Schrodinger equation, with some associated interpretation. It makes no additional predictions.

I wonder. In the Em-drive paper the NASA scientists seem to point to PWT for a possible explanation. If it didn't make a difference, then why should they have done that?
