The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and quantum mysteries a la Mermin
by
Ali Eskandarian
The George Washington University

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paper of 1935 raised foundational questions about the completeness of quantum mechanics, which ultimately relate to the information content of the theory.

We review the progress made in addressing the EPR concerns through the works of Bell, Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ), L. Hardy, Mermin, and others that shed light on the nature of quantum states and the deficiencies of intuitive classical logic.
