quantum mechanics and hidden variables

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of particles at the microscopic level. It encompasses principles such as superposition (where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously) and entanglement (where particles become connected even if far apart). Hidden variables refer to hypothetical unseen properties that could explain the mysterious behavior of particles in quantum mechanics. These variables, if they existed, would reveal distinct characteristics of particles, such as their precise positions and momenta. However, many interpretations of quantum mechanics argue against the existence of such hidden variables, considering quantum phenomena as inherently probabilistic.
