Resumen:
The contextual character of actual properties in quantum mechanics has been investigated since the famous Kochen-Specker Theorem (1967). In the context of modal interpretations, there are several no go theorems which have studied the limitations of modal interpretations (MI) to account for actual physical properties. Following previous papers in which we have derived a Modal Kochen-Specker theorem (Domenech, Freytes and de Ronde quant-ph/0612226 and quant-ph/0612227), we present a formal discussion regarding the meaning of the notion of possibility in the orthodox formalism of quantum mechanics and conclude that, contrary to the presupposed ideas, quantum possibility is not classical. In this presentation we shall analyze the philosophical consequences which can be derived from these findings.
