Towards a realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics providing a model of the physical world

TL;DR

This paper advocates for a realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics, proposing a model where quantum randomness stems from real vacuum fields, aiming to resolve conceptual issues and provide a clearer picture of the quantum world.

Contribution

It introduces a novel realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics based on real vacuum fields, addressing key conceptual challenges and offering an alternative to existing interpretations.

Findings

Quantum jumps and discrete states are explained by real vacuum fields.

The interpretation accounts for wave-particle duality and Bell inequalities.

It provides a coherent realistic model consistent with quantum phenomena.

Abstract

It is argued that a realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics is possible and useful. Current interpretations, from Copenhagen to many worlds are critically revisited. The difficulties for intuitive models of quantum physics are pointed out and possible solutions proposed. In particular the existence of discrete states, the quantum jumps, the alleged lack of objective properties, measurement theory, the probabilistic character of quantum physics, the wave-particle du- ality and the Bell inequalities are analyzed. The sketch of a realistic picture of the quantum world is presented. It rests upon the assump- tion that quantum mechanics is a stochastic theory whose randomness derives from the existence of vacuum fields. They correspond to the vacuum fluctuations of quantum field theory, but taken as real rather than virtual.
