Abstract

From its beginning in the 1920s quantum physics has challenged our understanding of the world. Particles that could be conceived previously as points turned out to be provided with a wave evolving in time according to a law of motion.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Remember that \(x\) and \(y\) are only chosen at \(A\) and \(B\), in a way that is independent of \(\lambda _1\), \(\lambda _2\) and \(\lambda _3\). Allowing a prediction of \(a\) to depend on \(\lambda _3\) thus still doesn’t allow it to depend on \(y\).
