Abstract
Although quantum theory has proved itself to be a suitable tool for the explanation of a seemingly incalculable number of physical phenomena, its basic principles have been questioned over and over, even by scientists of undoubted genius such as Einstein. The resulting discussions have led to a deeper understanding, to the introduction of new concepts, and to unexpected new applications. In the present chapter, we want to give examples of some of these developments. We begin by recalling the interpretation already given in Chaps. 7 and 9, which we shall cast in a somewhat abstract form.
