Ideal-measurement schemes as origin of the EPR paradox

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

It is shown that wave function non-separability in the hypothetical experiment of Einstein, Podolski and Rosen has opposite consequences depending on the measurement scheme. Ideal-measurement postulates entail the EPR paradox because of theira priori instantaneous or quasi-instantaneous ansatz. Real measurements of finite duration, including thea posteriori ideal approximation, prevent the paradox.
