Abstract

The advent of quantum mechanics has opened a probabilistic view on fundamental physics. It has come, however, with new concepts and rules like wave functions, non-commuting operators, and the rules for associating these quantities with observations. The unusual probabilistic features have opened many debates on their interpretation, as well as on suggestions for extensions of quantum mechanics.
