Abstract
Quantum experiments detect particles, but they reveal information about wave properties. No matter how quanta are detected, they always express the local net state of the corresponding wave-function. The mechanism behind this process is still a mystery. However, quantum wave-functions evolve like classical waves. If they determine all the observations, why do they entail "weird" phenomena? In particular, why do they produce conceptual problems, such as the EPR paradox? It turns out that all the major interpretations in quantum mechanics are particle-based ontologies. Variables of fundamental interest, such as momentum and position, are assumed to reflect the input states of discrete entities, even when their evolution is predicted by wave equations. Here I show that a whole class of microscopic phenomena, including entanglement, can be interpreted without contradictions if the variables of quantum mechanics are actually treated as wave properties. The main recommendation is to assume that sharp spectral states are transient outcomes of superposition, rather than permanent input components.
