Incompleteness of Quantum Theory on Einstein’s Program
نویسنده
چکیده
The Standard Model of particles, experimentally validated by the Higgs boson detection, represents the crowning of quantum theory. It is admitted that the whole universe is composed of fundamental particles, at one and the same time for matter and for three out of the four different interactions. They all manifest experimentally either as waves or as particles, justifying that they leans upon a quantum mechanical probabilistic framework. Since it has not still incorporated gravitation, the Standard Model describes only an incomplete aspect of the universe.

Einstein, incompleteness, and the epistemic view of quantum states
Does the quantum state represent reality or our knowledge of reality? In making this distinction precise, we are led to a novel classification of hidden variable models of quantum theory. We show that representatives of each class can be found among existing constructions for two-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Our approach also provides a fruitful new perspective on arguments for the nonlocality a...
متن کاملAn Einstein manuscript on the EPR paradox for spin observables
A formulation by Einstein of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen incompleteness argument found in his scientific manuscripts is presented and briefly commented on. It is the only known version in which Einstein discussed the argument for spin observables. The manuscript dates, in all probability, from late 1954 or early 1955 and hence also represents Einstein’s latest version of the incompleteness argu...
متن کاملWhen champions meet: Rethinking the Bohr–Einstein debate
Einstein’s philosophy of physics (as clarified by Fine, Howard, and Held) was predicated on his Trennungsprinzip, a combination of separability and locality, without which he believed objectification, and thereby “physical thought” and “physical laws”, to be impossible. Bohr’s philosophy (as elucidated by Hooker, Scheibe, Folse, Howard, Held, and others), on the other hand, was grounded in a se...
متن کاملOn Einstein’s Program and Quantum Theory
The Einstein’s program forms a consistent system for universe description, beside the standard model of particles. It is founded upon a scalar field propagating at speed of light c, which constitutes a common relativist framework for classical and quantum properties of matter and interactions. Matter corresponds to standing waves. Classical domain corresponds to geometrical optics approximation...
متن کاملLittle boxes: A simple implementation of the Greenberger, Horne, and Zeilinger result for spatial degrees of freedom
In a celebrated critique, Einstein used entangled systems in an attempt to show that the quantum state gives an incomplete description of the properties possessed by a quantum system. In a celebrated rejoinder, Bell, and those who developed his approach, showed that no theory employing hidden states that are spatially separate and local could recover the same predictions as quantum theory. Most...
