At the heart of the weirdness for which the field of quantum mechanics is famous is the wavefunction, a powerful but mysterious entity that is used to determine the probabilities that quantum particles will have certain properties. Now, a preprint posted online reopens the question of what the wavefunction represents—with an answer that could rock quantum theory to its core.
