Franklin Inst. 221 1936 313 According to Einstein the concept of quantum wavefunction, is justified only in a statistical sense and is not applicable to single systems. Otherwise it would lead to a paradox. Note that a pure entangled state is the necessary premise of the original formulation of the EPR paradox

Press Cambridge There Aspect's experiment, in which no momentum correlation between entangled particles exists, was considered. In the case of SPDC tests, in which the spatial correlation is imposed by phase matching condition, the diffraction effects are determined by the finite thickness of the NL crystal and by the finite pump beam transverse profile
