The followup argument is usually something along the lines of quantum mechanics is just probabilistic as far as we know.

Quantum physics doesn't allow for free will in an otherwise deterministic universe, any more than hooking up a RNG to a computer allows for the computer to have free will.




Not in my understanding. The probabilities are only involved when a quantum superposition collapses to a classic state. Note that the paper makes it clear that probabilities are not used anywhere in their argument.
