One of the joys of studying quantum mechanics, at any stage of a career, is to be aware of the fact that there is more scope for interpretations and understanding. This notion has not changed for several decades. A recent survey reinforces this thought.
There are at least 3 interesting points that I infer from the situation:
1) The interpretation of reality at the quantum scale is probabilistic. This has served us well in experiments and has led to the founding of quantum technologies. We are in a situation in the history of science where the philosophical foundations are uncertain, but the technological implications are profound.
2) Having more data is always good, but for a new leap of thought, we may have to pay attention to new connections among the data. Can AI play a role in this?
3) There is more room for exploration in the foundations of quantum physics. Philosophy of physics has a role to play in this exploration. Physics students and researchers with (analytical) philosophical inclination have an opportunity to contribution. This needs a grounding in understanding mathematics and experiments related to quantum physics. I see this as a great opportunity for someone to enter the field.
Conclusion: Good time to explore the foundations of physics*
