- Abstract: All quantum harmonic oscillators possess an ontological variable, which implies that they may be interpreted in terms of classical logic. Since many quantum models are based on quantum harmonic oscillators, this observation may open pathways towards a better understanding of how to interpret quantum mechanics.
