Can quantum mechanics be considered as statistical? an analysis of the PBR theorem
arXiv:1203.2475
Abstract
The answer to this question is `yes it can!' as we will see in this manuscript. More, precisely after a discussion of M. F. Pusey, J. Barrett and T. Rudolph (PBR) result (arXiv:1111.3328) we will show that contrarily to the PBR claim the epistemic approach is in general not disproved by their `no-go' theorem.
This is a realist-like discussion of the PBR theorem recently presented by Pusey, Barrett and Rudolph (PBR), "The quantum state cannot be interpreted statistically", arXiv:1111.3328. This new version complete my discussion of PBR theorem bytaking into account some comments by Matt. Leifer. The conclusion and the reasoning are kept unchanged
