Sorry, I am reading conflicting information. The Wikipedia page seems to say the opposite.
> the result is not traditional determinism, but rather determined probabilities
> Thus, quantum physics casts reasonable doubt on the traditional determinism of classical, Newtonian physics in so far as reality does not seem to be absolutely determined.
> A critical finding was that quantum mechanics can make statistical predictions which would be violated if local hidden variables really existed. There have been a number of experiments to verify such predictions, and so far they do not appear to be violated. This would suggest there are no hidden variables, although many physicists believe better experiments are needed to conclusively settle the issue
This appears to be an open issue. With evidence pointing towards true randomness.
You mentioned the pilot wave theory. Is there experimental evidence in favor of it beyond standard quantum mechanics?

Thanks. This is all quite over my head.
