EPR-Paradoxon
Entanglement contradicts GR:
Measurement I is influenced by an event (measurement II) outside its backwards lightcone
Einstein also did not like the random character of QM• “Every complete theory must assign a value to
every element at every physical reality”

Considerations:
• Quantum mechanics might be incomplete
• Unknown variables determine outcome of measurements prior to measurement- No randomness- Locality
For entangled photons:• Whether + or - is measured is determined before the
measurement

Local hidden variable theory
![Page 5: Bell tests with Photons](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051418/5681520b550346895dc04d29/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Bell‘s theorem
“Quantum mechanics cannot arise from a theory of local pre-existing hidden variables”
Necessary conditions on theory for Bell’s theorem:
Locality Counterfactual definiteness

Locality
No influence of events outside the backwards light cone
Counterfactual definiteness
A property is assigned to a system at all times independently of whether the measurement is carried out
