On the Free Will Theorem
Simon Kochen
We strengthen the Free Will Theorem, which proved the spontaneity of particles, based on the free will of the experimenter. The new result is unconditional, and does not require th…
Born's Rule, EPR, and the Free Will Theorem
Simon Kochen
Many physicists believe that the EPR experiment exhibits instantaneous non-local effects. I argue below that an application of Born's Rule to EPR shows no such instantaneous effect…
A Reconstruction of Quantum Mechanics
Simon Kochen
We formulate a general principle that supplants a Boolean σ-algebra of intrinsic properties of a classical system by a σ-complex (a union of σ-algebras) of extrinsic properties of…
On Conway and Kochen's "Thou shalt not clone one bit!"
N. David Mermin
A physicists' explanation of why thou shalt not clone one bit gives a stronger version of Conway and Kochen's theorem.
The Strong Free Will Theorem
John Conway, Simon Kochen
We strengthen "The Free Will Theorem" [1] in several ways, by replacing the axiom FIN by a weaker axiom MIN, and also by allowing the particles' responses to depend on past half-sp…
Thou Shalt Not Clone One Bit!
John Conway, Simon Kochen
We prove a no-triplets theorem for spin 1 particles, which implies a strengthened form of the no-cloning theorem.
