EinsteinPodolskyRosen paradox

In 1935, Einstein returned to the question of quantum mechanics. He considered how a

measurement on one of two entangled particles would affect the other. He noted, along with his
collaborators, that by performing different measurements on the distant particle, either of position
or momentum, different properties of the entangled partner could be discovered without
disturbing it in any way.
He then used a hypothesis of local realism to conclude that the other particle had these
properties already determined. The principle he proposed is that if it is possible to determine
what the answer to a position or momentum measurement would be, without in any way
disturbing the particle, then the particle actually has values of position or momentum.
This principle distilled the essence of Einstein's objection to quantum mechanics. As a physical
principle, it was shown to be incorrect when theAspect experiment of 1982 confirmed Bell's
theorem, which had been promulgated in 1964
