On the problem of hidden variables for quantum mechanical observables with continuous spectra
Philosophy of Science 44 (3):475-477 (1977)
Abstract
Existing "no hidden variable proofs" for quantum mechanics deal exclusively with observables with discrete spectra. This note shows that similar results hold for observables with continuous spectraAuthor's Profile
