The old question (considered already by Einstein) whether the quantum-mechanical wave function represents "reality" has recently attracted renewed interest. Amazingly, modern approaches inspired by Quantum Information Theory can provide answers. In my talk, I will provide an overview on them, focusing on a recent result that establishes a one-to-one correspondence between the wave function and the “elements of reality”.
