The fundamental paradox of the quantum theory

ABSTRACT THE question of the logical consistency of quantum mechanics has recently been discussed by Prof. G. Temple1 and by Dr. H. Fröhlich and Dr. E. Guth2. Temple arrives at an apparent

contradiction, starting from principles which he states to be an essential part of quantum theory. From these principles contradictory results follow, as Temple shows by a perfectly rigorous

deduction. (The existence of this deduction seems to have been ignored by Fröhlich and Guth.) Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
