Danish Yearbook 0/ Philosophy, Vol. 27 (1992), 93-108 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SOME EXPERIMENTAL TESTS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS JENS BANG Niels Bohr Institute I. Quantum Mechanics Some years ago an article in Physical Review Leiters by Alain Aspect and co workers in Paris generated a sensationalistic interest in the media, even before publication. It was more or less said that now, finally, the old quarrel between Bohr and Einstein was decided, in favour of Bohr's standpoint. Before we look at the quarrel in question let us remember, that Bohr and Einstein had many discussions about quantum mechanics, in which Einstein in the end had to give in. The subject of most of these discussions may be summarized under the heading of the consistency of quantum mechanics. A large part of this consistency is ensured by the mathematics. It was certainly important for Bohr that around 1925 it turned out to be possible to give quantum theory a closed mathematical formulation, essentially in terms of linear operators, acting on something which can in general be viewed as a space of multidimensional vectors, the "state vectors". [vector: a set of numbers A = (Al> .... ,A ), Ai: component. Vectors are added
