Controversy between Einstein and Bohr and two erroneous arguments used in supporting Copenhagen quantum mechanics

摘要

The support of Copenhagen quantum mechanics in the discussion concerning EPRexperiments has been based fundamentally on two mistakes. First, quantummechanics as well as hidden-variable theory give the same predictions; thestatement of Belinfante from 1973 about the significant difference must bedenoted as mistake. Secondly, the experimental violation of Bell's inequalitieshas been erroneously interpreted as excluding the hidden-variable alternative,while they have been based on assumption corresponding to classical physics.The EPR experiments cannot bring, therefore, any decision in the controversybetween Einstein and Bohr. However, the view of Einstein is strongly supportedby experimental results concerning the light transmission through threepolarizers.
