Abstract
On the seminal paper written by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen [1], a critique to the completeness of quantum mechanics was posed. Part of the critique consisted in the following argument: if quantum mechanics is complete, then, two physical quantities, with non-commuting operators, can have simultaneous reality. In this paper I aim to provide a pedagogical approach to the notions used in the EPR's argument.
