EPR Paradox & Bell Inequality
Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen suggested an experiment
A large number of nuclei decay each emitting two outgoing particles
- Each of the two particles can be in state “A” or in state “B”
- The decay is such that they must both be “A” or both be “B”
- One cannot predict when any one nucleus will decay or whether it will produce two “A” particles or two “B” particles
Each detector sees a random sequence of “A” and “B” particles
