Abstract
Here we discuss some aspects of the so called statistical interpretation of quantum theory (SIQT), which rejects the idea that the wave function describes one individual quantum system. The main claim of the SIQT, which originated from some of Einstein’s ideas1, is that a quantum state, which may be pure and then described by a state vectorΨ) or mixed and in this case described by a density matrix p, represents an ensemble of identically prepared systems. We shall denote the ensemble by ε|Ψ) or ε| p depending on the case.
