Homework #4: Reading assignment: (1) It's strongly advised that you finish the reading before next class, on Oct 19, so that you can easily follow the next lecture. (2) If you are in the campus of NTHU or NCTU, you should be able to download the full papers in PDF format. (3) If you don't have enough time, the first priority is try to derive and understand the QM calculation performed in article-(d). (4) Next Mon., I will play the following clip of S. Coleman lecturing on QM. http://media.physics.harvard.edu/video/index.php?id=SidneyColeman_QMIYF.flv So you can view it ( several times, maybe ) before the class, to get familiar with the English. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For EPR, (a) Original paper by Eienstein et al: Phys.Rev. 47, 777(1935) http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PR/v47/i10/p777_1 (b) Bohr's reply: Phys.Rev.48, 696(1935) http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PR/v48/i8/p696_1 2 not so technical articles on hidden variables: (c) Phys.
