A century after the discovery of quantum mechanics, the meaning of quantum mechanics still remains elusive. This is largely due to the puzzling nature of the wave function, the central object in quantum mechanics. If we are realists about quantum mechanics, how should we understand the wave function? What does it represent? What is its physical meaning? Answering these questions would improve our understanding of what it means to be a realist about quantum mechanics. In this survey article, I review and compare several realist interpretations of the wave function. They fall into three categories: ontological interpretations, nomological interpretations, and the \emph{sui generis} interpretation. For simplicity, I will focus on non-relativistic quantum mechanics.

关于波动函数的现实主义

在发现量子力学之后的一个世纪，量子力学的含义仍然难以捉摸。这主要是由于波函数的令人困惑的性质，波函数是量子力学中的中心对象。如果我们是量子力学的现实主义者，我们应该如何理解波函数？它代表什么？它的物理意义是什么？回答这些问题将增进我们对成为量子力学现实主义者的理解。在这篇调查文章中，我回顾并比较了波动函数的几种现实主义解释。它们分为三类：本体解释，名词解释和\ emph {suigeneris}解释。为简单起见，我将专注于非相对论量子力学。
