Von Neumann, Bell and Bohm
Jeremy Bernstein
TL;DR
This paper examines von Neumann's proof against hidden variable theories, analyzing its assumptions and implications within the context of quantum mechanics.
Contribution
It provides a critical analysis of von Neumann's proof, highlighting its limitations and influence on the debate over hidden variables.
Findings
Von Neumann's proof relies on specific assumptions about hidden variables.
The proof has been challenged by later interpretations and alternative theories.
The article clarifies the impact of von Neumann's argument on quantum foundations.
Abstract
This article discusses von Neumann's "proof" that hidden variable theories are impossible.
