Quantum Milestones, 1964: John Stewart Bell Quietly Rings in New Era of Quantum Theory

In 1964, Bell showed that quantum physics predicts correlations that violate certain inequalities. The work implied that quantum mechanics is not compatible with locality, even if there were “hidden variables” not accounted for in quantum theory.   Read More »
