From Ghost to Real Waves: A Proposed Solution to the Wave-Particle Dilemma

  • Chapter
The Wave-Particle Dualism

Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics ((FTPH,volume 3))

Abstract

The most controversial epistemological problem of the foundations of quantum mechanics arises in connection with the interpretation of the fundamental theoretical term of quantal formalism,i .e. the wave-function or state-vector ∣ ψ >, which is at the origin of the problem of the wave-particle duality.
