John S. Bell on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Sheldon Goldstein

Marian Kupczyński

Kurt Gottfried, N. David Mermin

Mary Bell, Kurt Gottfried, Martinus J. G. Veltman

This book is the most complete collection of John S Bell's research papers, review articles and lecture notes on the foundations of quantum mechanics. Some of this material has hitherto been difficult to access. The book also appears in a paperback edition, aimed at students and young researchers. This volume will be very useful to researchers in the foundations and applications of quantum mechanics. Contents: (1) On the Problem of Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics; (2) On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox; (3) The Moral Aspect of Quantum Mechanics; (4) Introduction to the Hidden-Variabl
