This reminds me of something that was once linked on HN but that I can't remember enough of to find again. The thesis was that some of the iconic quantum weirdness™ simply disappears when you just dispense with taking the real part (or the norm) of the wave function as a final step and instead just consider the complex value. IIRC this seemed to made the double-slit experiment way more straightforward. Does that ring a bell to anyone?
