Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen: questioning quantum completeness

Contribution grade

Quantum foundations · Scoped scientific or research-capability contribution

Reference score120,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Formulated a joint thought experiment relating predictions on separated systems to a criterion of physical reality, creating a precise challenge about the completeness of the wave-function description.

Scientific scope

Formulated a joint thought experiment relating predictions on separated systems to a criterion of physical reality, creating a precise challenge about the completeness of the wave-function description. Scope limitation: This records the influential argument and its stated premises, not an accepted proof that quantum mechanics is false or that all hidden-variable theories are excluded. Bell's theorem and later experiments are separate contributions. All three paper authors retain attribution.
