... GHZ and Bell’s theorem In 1935, after failing for years to defeat the uncertainty principle, Einstein argued that quantum mechanics is incomplete. Note that [x, ˆp] ≠ 0, but [x2–x1, pˆ 2+pˆ 1] = [x2, pˆ 2] – [x1, pˆ1] = 0. That means we can measure the distance between two particles and their total ...
