18 November 1997, “Bolt from the Blue”
I saw Adrian Kent's four papers on the server early this morning, and I was reminded of Léon Rosenfeld's description of Bohr's reaction to the EPR paper:
This onslaught came down upon us as a bolt from the blue. Its effect on Bohr was remarkable. We were then in the midst of groping attempts at exploring the implications of the fluctuations of charge and current distributions … A new worry could not come at a less propitious time. Yet, as soon as Bohr had heard my report of Einstein's argument, everything else was abandoned …
I suspect the air in Montréal will be just as this when you all awake today. How I wish I were there to see the excitement!
I hope for the sake of our field, and a generally more exciting world, that Kent is right! As you all know, this sceptical physicist (i.e., me) was always a little wary of the Mayers–Lo–Chau strong claim of having considered all possible quantum protocols. I would like to hear the Montréal verdict once it is in.
A good day to all!
