Entanglement (II): Non-locality, Hidden Variables and Bell’s Inequalities.

Posted on 21 June, 2015 by marcocerezo

In the first article of this series, we studied Einstein, Podolski and Rosen’s paper, where we encountered for the first time the concept of quantum entangled stated and their “spooky action at a distance”. As EPR realized, when particles interact (under certain … Continue reading →
