The Photon-Box Bohr-Einstein Debate Demithologized

de la Torre, A. C., Alejandro Daleo, Ignacio García-Mata

Published Oct 8, 1999• 0 citations

Abstract

The legendary discussion between Einstein and Bohr concerning the photon box experiment is critically analyzed. It is shown that Einstein's argument is flawed and Bohr's reply is wrong.

The photon-box Bohr-Einstein debate demythologized. Reply to Comment *

A C de la Torre, Alejandro Daleo, Ignacio García-Mata

The arguments presented in the criticism of our work suffer from the same mistakes that we have denounced. That is, the confusion of quantum indeterminacies with experimental uncertainties. We mention another example of how this type of argument can lead to wrong results and we show other weaknesses of the debate.

Once again on the `demythologizing' of the clock-in-the-box debate of Bohr and Einstein

Vladimir Hnizdo

The reply of de la Torre, Daleo and Garcia-Mata [Eur. J. Phys. 23 (2002) L15-L16] to a criticism of their `demythologizing' analysis of the clock-in-the-box debate between Einstein and Bohr is commented on.

An Underappreciated Exchange in the Bohr--Einstein Debate

Blake C. Stacey

The Bohr--Einstein debate is one of the more remarkable protracted intellectual exchanges in the history of physics. Its influence has been lasting: One of the few clear patterns in a 2013 survey about quantum foundations was that the physicists who believed Bohr to be correct were apt to say that Einstein had been wrong. The exchanges began when Bohr and Einstein first met in 1920, continued at the Solvay conferences of the following decade, reached a dramatic crescendo with the EPR paradox in 1935, and continued thereafter. Not every episode in this long story has been investigated equally. In particular, one late statement attributed to Bohr has received much more intense examination than Einstein's equally pithy reply.
