quantum realism

Quantum realism is the idea that the properties of particles—like position or momentum—exist independently of whether we measure them. It suggests that the quantum state reflects reality itself, not just our knowledge of it. While traditional physics sometimes treats quantum phenomena as probabilities until observed, quantum realism asserts that these properties are real and definitive, whether or not we observe them. This perspective raises questions about objectivity and the nature of reality at microscopic scales, emphasizing that the universe's fundamental behavior might be rooted in an underlying, objective reality beyond measurement.
