Description: By Carsten Held.
The Kochen-Specker Theorem (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) First published Mon Sep 11, 2000; substantive revision Tue Feb 19, 2013 The Kochen-Specker theorem is an important and subtle, topic in the foundations of quantum mechanics (QM). The theorem demonstrates the impossibility of a certain type of interpretation of QM in terms of hidden variables (HV) that naturally suggests itself when one begins to consider the project of interpretating QM.We here present the theorem/argument and the foundational discussion surrounding it at different levels. The reader looking for a quick overview should read the following sections and subsections: 1, 2, 3.1, 3.2, 4, and 6. Those who read the whole entry will find proofs of some non-trivial claims in supplementary documents.
