Does probabilism solve the great quantum mystery?
Theoria: Revista de Teoría, Historia y Fundamentos de la Ciencia 19 (3):321-336 (2010)
Abstract
I put forward a micro realistic, probabilistic version of quantum theory, which specifies the precise nature of quantum entities thus solving the quantum wave/particle dilemma, and which both reproduces the empirical success of orthodox quantum theory, and yields predictions that differ from orthodox quantum theory for as yet unperformed experiments.Author's Profile
