In this paper I explore Aristotle’s notion of matter as a principle of potentiality in order to understand how could be applied to quantum physics. One of the main metaphysical problems concerning the wave function is that it seems to set some sort of indetermination within the physical reality. It is precisely for this reason that I believe that Aristotle’s vision of matter as a source of potentiality and indetermination might be a good metaphysical tool that can be applied to quantum mechanics.
