Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Particle Trajectories

Aristarhov, Serj (2022): Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Particle Trajectories. In: Foundations of Physics, Bd. 53, Nr. 1

Abstract

In this paper we critically analyse W. Heisenberg's arguments against the ontology of point particles following trajectories in quantum theory, presented in his famous 1927 paper and in his Chicago lectures (1929). Along the way, we will clarify the meaning of Heisenberg's uncertainty relation and help resolve some confusions related to it.
