Quantum mechanics and Leggett's principles of macroscopic realism
  On the basis of our recent model of a one-dimensional (1D) completed scattering we argue that Leggett's principles of macroscopic realism must and can be extended onto the level of single electrons and atoms. These principles need three quite feasible innovations in quantum mechanics (QM): (1) at the conceptual level, QM must treat a pure time-dependent one-particle state to involve two or more macroscopically distinct alternatives for a particle as a pure {\it combined} one - the intermediate link between a pure {\it elementary} state (indecomposable into macroscopically distinct parts) and statistical mixture; (2) at the mathematical level, QM must provide the presentation of the pure time-dependent combined state as a coherent superposition of macroscopically distinct elementary states (MDESs); (3) at the experimental level, QM must provide for such states two types of measurements - those for observing the interference pattern resulting from the joint action of MDESs, and non-demolishing 'which-way' measurements for scanning the individual properties of MDESs.
