28 Einstein, Podolski and Rosen s key argument against the completeness of quantum mechanics This makes the reality of P and Q depend upong the process of measurement carried out on the first system, which does not disturb the second system in any way. No reasonable definition of reality could be expected to permit this. Einstein, Podolski and Rosen, Phys. Rev. 47, 777 (935)
