A No-Go Theorem for ψ-ontic Models? Yes! Response to Criticisms
arXiv:2412.19182
Abstract
This short note addresses the criticisms recently proposed by Shan Gao against our article "On the Reality of the Quantum State Once Again: A No-Go Theorem for ψ-Ontic Models" (Found. Phys. 54:14). The essay aims to respond to such objections and to show once again that the theorem proved in our paper is correct, and therefore true - contrary to Gao's claims. Philosophical consequences of this fact are briefly discussed.
