hidden variable theories
Hidden variable theories are explanations in quantum mechanics that propose the existence of additional unknown variables, or "hidden variables," that determine the outcomes of quantum experiments. These additional variables are assumed to influence the behavior of quantum particles, allowing for deterministic predictions rather than the probabilistic nature predicted by standard quantum mechanics.
