John Von Neumann on Quantum Correlations

Hilbert-style axiomatic completion: On von Neumann and hidden variables in quantum mechanics

“…However, in the main, I do not disagree either on the historical, physical, or mathematical facts. Indeed, excellent exegetical work has already been done on von Neumann's work in physics Janssen, 2013] [Lacki, 2000] [Rédei, 1996] [Rédei, 2006] [Rédei and Stöltzner, 2006] [Stöltzner, 2001] [ Bueno, 2016], including on his no hidden variables proof [Bub, 2011] [Bub, 2010] [Dieks, 2017] [ Mermin and Schack, 2018] [Stöltzner, 1999] [Acuña, 2021a] [Acuña, 2021b]. Instead, my disagreement concerns primarily the framing, which lumps von Neumann in with Bohm and Bell (especially the latter).…”
