Introduction: space-time and the wave function

Abstract

All the papers in this special issue deal with the questions of what the wave function represents and what the implications of quantum realism are in relation to our conception of space. These questions were the basis of the discussions that took place over two conferences which, under the title of Space-time and the wave function, were held in Barcelona in April 2013 and May 2014. The papers that are included here or preliminary versions of them were presented and discussed at those conferences.
