[QUOTE="vanhees71, post: 6800015, member: 260864"] The wave-particle duality was an important heuristic idea before modern quantum mechanics has been discovered in 1925/26, and the main protagonists (among them Einstein and de Broglie) were well aware of the problems with this idea. It was solved with Born's probabilistic interpretation of the quantum states, i.e., that the modulus squared of the Schrödinger wave function is a probability distribution for the position of a particle, described by this wave function.
