A Boost For Quantum Reality

Eponymous Hero sends this excerpt from Nature: "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. ... [The authors] say that the mathematics leaves no doubt that the wavefunction is not just a statistical tool, but rather, a real, objective state of a quantum system."
