Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and Particle Trajectories
Foundations of Physics 53 (1):1-12 (2022)
Abstract
In this paper we critically analyse W. Heisenberg’s arguments against the ontology of point particles following trajectories in quantum theory, presented in his famous 1927 paper and in his Chicago lectures (1929). Along the way, we will clarify the meaning of Heisenberg’s uncertainty relation and help resolve some confusions related to it.My notes
