Theorists claim they can prove that wavefunctions are real states.
The philosophical status of the wavefunction — the entity that determines the probability of different outcomes of measurements on quantum-mechanical particles — would seem to be an unlikely subject for emotional debate. Yet online discussion of a paper claiming to show mathematically that the wavefunction is real has ranged from ardently star-struck to downright vitriolic since the article was first released as a preprint in November 2011.

Un teorema scuote i fondamenti della teoria dei quanti
In un articolo definito “sismico” per il possibile impatto sulla meccanica quantistica, tre ricercatori mostrano che la funzione d’onda – sulla cui interpretazione i fisici discutono dal 1920 – non è uno strumento puramente statistico ma un oggetto fisicamente reale.
