Proposed Experiment to Test Local Hidden Variable Theories.
TL;DR: In this paper, a theorem of Bell, proving that certain predictions of quantum mechanics are inconsistent with the entire family of local hidden-variable theories, is generalized so as to apply to realizable experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bell’s theorem without inequalities
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the premisses of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paper are inconsistent when applied to quantum systems consisting of at least three particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two interferometric complementarities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degree of Entanglementa
TL;DR: In this paper, a general quantitative definition of the degree of entanglement E ( + ) of any n-particle quantum state and when n = 2 evaluates E( + ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal distinction between two non-orthogonal quantum states
Gregg Jaeger,Abner Shimony +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two procedures were developed for classifying an individual system as | p > or | q >, non-orthogonal, given an ensemble with respective proportions r and 1-r.
