The Problem of Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics
Simon Kochen,E. P. Specker +1 more
TL;DR: The problem of hidden variables in quantum theory has been a controversial and obscure subject for decades as mentioned in this paper, and there are many proofs of the non-existence of such variables, most notably von Neumann's proof, and various attempts to introduce hidden variables such as de Broglie [4] and Bohm [1] and [2].
Journal ArticleDOI
The Free Will Theorem
John H. Conway,Simon Kochen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the choice of a particular type of spin 1 experiment is not a function of the information accessible to the experimenters, and that its outcome is also not a functional function of information available to the particles.
Book ChapterDOI
The Strong Free Will Theorem
John H. Conway,Simon Kochen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Free Will Theorem was strengthened by replacing the axiom FIN by a weaker axiom MIN, and allowing the particles' responses to depend on past half-spaces rather than on on past light cones.
