Key Points

  • The research focuses on the correspondence between Einstein and Cooper regarding the EPR paradox.
  • Examined letters exchanged between Einstein and Cooper from 1949 regarding the EPR paradox.
  • Retyped and reproduced letters as facsimiles for analysis.
  • Conducted an analysis of differing viewpoints and their implications.
  • Considered mathematical and physical factors related to the EPR paradox.
  • Identified disagreements between Einstein and Cooper on the interpretation of the EPR paradox.
  • Highlighted the complex factors underpinning their correspondence.
  • Provided insights into historical perspectives on quantum mechanics.

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents correspondence between Albert Einstein and the mathematical analyst J. L. B. Cooper on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox of quantum theory published in 1935. Two letters written by Cooper, and the replies from Einstein, all written between October and December 1949, are retyped and added as facsimiles. The lack of agreement, arising from very different points of view, is analysed, taking into account the complex underlying mathematical and physical factors that arise naturally in connection with the EPR paradox.
