How did Bell contribute to the field of quantum physics?
By developing Bell's theorem
By discovering a new particle
By disproving quantum mechanics
By proving Einstein's theories wrong
Answer
Bell's theorem revolutionized quantum physics by introducing the concept of quantum entanglement and challenging classical physics notions of locality and realism. It asserts that certain correlations between particles cannot be explained by any local realistic theory, implying a non-local, interconnected nature of quantum phenomena. This profound insight has driven extensive research and debate, forming the foundation for modern quantum information theory, communication, and computation.
