John Stewart Bell
Quick Summary
John Stewart Bell was an Irish-born physicist known for his work on quantum entanglement. He devised mathematical relationships, known as Bell inequalities, which would be satisfied by a hidden variable theory. This theory suggested that measurement of one particle would not instantly affect the properties of another.12
In 1964, Bell demonstrated that these inequalities were violated by quantum mechanics, proving that nonlocality is a necessary feature of the universe. This concept, often referred to as Bell's theorem, has been experimentally tested and confirmed, laying the groundwork for advancements in quantum technology.32

…theorem by the Irish-born physicist John Stewart Bell. Bell began by assuming the existence of some form of hidden variable with a value that would determine whether the measured angular momentum gives a plus or minus result. He further assumed locality—namely, that measurement on one proton (i.e., the choice of…
