Hello, I would like to hear some comments on this:
Recently a paper has been published(Sánchez-Kuntz, N. & Nahmad-Achar, E. Found Phys (2018) 48: 27. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10701-017-0126-z) claiming tha QM has a local realist interpretaion.
In this paper it is asserted that:
"The wave nature (as in the double-slit experiment) arises when one observes the statistical behaviour of a
large ensemble of particles, just as ripples in water arise from a statistical behaviour of many water particles, or electromagnetic waves, in quantum theory, are the result of a large collection of photons. We see the phenomenon of superposition in waves, but not in the individual particles which are the building blocks (physical entities) in QM".
This assetion seems to be in contradiction with the the double slit experiment that were performed with individual particles that showed explicitly wave like behavior of individual photons.
Am I correct or this kind of experiments were not actually performed and are only thought experiments?
