Journal Article on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox
Abstract The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox , introduced in 1935, challenged the completeness of quantum mechanics by questioning whether entangled particles imply “spooky action at a distance.” It remains central to debates on locality, realism, and hidden variables, later inspiring Bell’s theorem and modern quantum information science. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox is a foundational problem in quantum mechanics that questions whether the theory provides a complete description of physical reality. By analyzing entangled states, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen argued that quantum mechanics must be supplemented by hidden variables to restore locality and determinism. This article revisits the paradox, its historical context, mathematical formulation, and its profound implications for modern physics. 1. Introduction Published in 1935 in Physical Review by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen. The paradox was designed to highlight the tension between ...
