Abstract
We give a conceptually simple proof of nonlocality using only the perfect correlations between results of measurements on distant systems discussed by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen—correlations that EPR thought proved the incompleteness of quantum mechanics. Our argument relies on an extension of EPR by Schrödinger. We also briefly discuss nonlocality and “hidden variables” within Bohmian mechanics.

The reference [59] mentioned in the references “[4], [11], [49], [55]” should be changed to “[54]”. However it is now corrected.
Notes
For simplicity, we take for granted in this paper a non-relativistic framework.
Both operators O and \({\tilde{O}}\) act on the same Hilbert space \({\mathcal {H}}\).
As we shall see in Sect. 7, contextual value-maps occur naturally in Bohmian mechanics.
Thus he did not make the mistake made by von Neumann (see [17] for a discussion of that mistake).
