Causality in quantum mechanics
What causality is there in quantum mechanics? It seems {to someone like me without extensive knowledge of physics} that there is randomness here. There is also no freedom here because there is no discretion of an electron {for example}.

First, there is still debate about whether there is causality there. It depends on interpretations. But even in the conventional sense that claims there is no causality, it is at the local level. There is causality because the quantum nature of the world causes things to happen this way. In an empty world and without any laws, particles from a vacuum or other quantum phenomena would not be created. The nature of the world is the causal factor for quantum events.

Where can I read about it?
Regarding the debate I mentioned, you can search the web (Interpretations of quantum theory. The play between locality and causality). On the second topic, this is my claim. I don't know of any sources for this.
