Quantum Mechanics versus Local Realism: The Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen Paradox is a 1988 volume edited by Franco Selleri, published by Plenum Press (Springer) in the Physics of Atoms and Molecules series.

Overview

The book collects contributions examining the conflict between quantum mechanics and local realism as sharpened by the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) argument and Bell's theorem. It reviews the theoretical framework of Bell's inequalities, the experimental tests (including the Aspect experiments), local hidden-variable theories, and the interpretive options — reflecting Selleri's own advocacy of realism and his critical stance toward the claim that experiments had decisively refuted local realism.

About the editor
