The closely related conceptual problems of quantum mechanics including the wave function collapse can be accounted for if the successful mathematical formalism of the theory describes an objective reality independent of observers and their knowledge. In that context it is shown that the wave function collapse only can be explained if quantum mechanics is seen within the frame work of field quantization. That is needed to understand the particle structure of matter during wave function evolution and to account for the collapse as symmetry breakdown by detection. Symmetries in the widest sense and probabilities in context of superposition states appear as two sides of the same issue. (Imprint: Nova)
