Quantum Mechanics 10a - Bell's Inequality I

Date: 2014-01-04

1935 was a big year for quantum weirdness. In the previous video we examined the Schrödinger's cat paradox. Here we look at the EPR (Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen) paradox. Does quantum mechanics require that "reality" at one place depend instantaneously on what occurs at another place? Is reality "non local?"

My development of Bell's inequality was largely motivated by the version presented in "The Meaning of Quantum Theory" by Jim Baggott, Oxford Univ. Press, 1992, ISBN 019855575
