Abstract

We argue that not all the theoretical content of the Bohr model has been captured by the “definitive” quantum formalism currently in use. In particular, the notion of “quantum leap” seems to refer to non-dynamic features, closely related to non-locality, which have not yet been formalized in a satisfactory way.
