On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox
@article{Bell1964OnTE, title={On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox}, author={John Stewart Bell}, journal={Physics}, year={1964}, volume={1}, pages={195-200} }
THE paradox of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen [1] was advanced as an argument that quantum mechanics could not be a complete theory but should be supplemented by additional variables. These additional variables were to restore to the theory causality and locality [2]. In this note that idea will be formulated mathematically and shown to be incompatible with the statistical predictions of quantum mechanics. It is the requirement of locality, or more precisely that the result of a measurement on…

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox as formulated in their original paper is critically examined. Their argument that quantum mechanics is incomplete is shown to be unsatisfactory on two important…

The EPR paradox of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (1935) was presented as an argument for the need for additional variables in quantum theory to restore causality and locality to that theory. Such a…

1935, Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR)[1] considered the question whether the quantum mechanical description of physical reality was complete, and argued that it wasn’t. A theory is incomplete if…

The Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen paradox (1) showed that there was an incompatibility between three hypotheses: that quantum mechanics is correct, that quantum mechanics is complete and that (~…

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?
- Philosophy
- 1935
Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that one is led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
