    Why is the Wave Function Central to Quantum Theory's Physical Interpretation?

    I don't think it is possible to construct a useful theory with the absolut square of psi (or its square) as variable: psi as a variable allows for gauge freedom - and the gauge mechanism describes the way external fields act on the objects described by psi. But it is a good question

    Help explaining a quantum wave function. (How you describe a wave by a particle)

    Schrödingers equation is called a wave equation partly for historical reasons (Schrödinger thought the equation he found would describe real waves) and partly because it admits wave-like solutions in many situations. But the meaning of these wave-like solutions is different from real waves...
