Zusammenfassung:	An idealized version of the experiment proposed by Selleri (1982) to test the objective physical reality of the probability amplitudes of quantum mechanics is derived, and quantum-mechanical calculations are developed for the model experiment. On the basis of the Weisskopf-Wagner theory of spontaneous emissions is it is predicted that no 'zero-energy undulatory phenomenon' inducing a 'zero-energy-transfer stimulated emission' will occur.
