GODOY, W. Philosophical Explorations of Non-Locality in Quantum Physics: Developments of the EPR Argument. 2018. Dissertation (Master’s) – Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2018. This is a philosophical and historical study of the EPR argument (1935), that concluded that quantum mechanics is incomplete, and which has been the focus of intense debate and criticisms since then. I examine the logical structure of the argument, following commentators such as McGrath, Chibeni, and Wessels, and follow the first debates involving Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger, Furry, and Bohm. Studying the first attempts to experimentally test the so-called “entangled” states, I point out the similarities between the analysis done by Bohm & Aharonov (1957) of the experiment of Wu & Shaknov (1950), involving gamma ray polarization, and the Bell inequality (1964). The debate about incompleteness was transformed by the work of Bell, Who obtained a dilemma according to which one should abandon either realism (a philosophical thesis) or locality (a physical thesis), i.e. discard local realist theories. From this dilemma, and a dilemma obtained from the EPR paper, I derive an argument in favor of non-locality that is independent of the thesis of realism.
