Selected Problems in Realist Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics and a Novel Suggestion

Abstract

In this short paper I suggest a few properties a good realist interpretation of quantum mechanics ought to have. Then I canvass several interpretations, most of which do not have these properties, and further suggest problems specific to each one. Then I give a reference to a novel interpretation that solves all of these problems.
