The American Philosophical Society (APS) awarded Alyssa Ney the Patrick Suppes Prize in Philosophy of Science for "The World in the Wave Function: A Metaphysics for Quantum Physics." It is the world’s largest book prize in philosophy, according to the APS. Read more at https://qspace.fqxi.org/news.
Ney’s book makes a case for wave function realism, the idea that the most fundamental description of the universe is given by the quantum wave function. She spells out what that commitment buys you in physics and in metaphysics. “The wave function is not a mere quantum hypothesis, it’s the stuff of the universe.” Purchase a copy via our affiliate link on (https://bookshop.org/a/85756/9780190097714).
