Extract

The aim of this article is to discuss a paradox of importance in the quantum theory of measurement. The paradox was first propounded by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen in 1935(1), and was discussed subsequently by Bohr(2), Furry(3), Schrödinger(4, 5), as well as in texts (6, 7). We begin by formulating the paradox.
