Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox
The Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) paradox is a thought experiment proposed by physicists Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, which argues that the description of physical reality provided by quantum mechanics is incomplete.

Precursor to Bell's theorem
The 1935 Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paper argued that quantum mechanics was incomplete by proposing local hidden variables, which Bell's theorem later mathematically disproved.
Thought experiment that led to the definition of Bell states
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox was designed to challenge the completeness of quantum mechanics, and Bell states serve as the concrete mathematical realization of the entangled pairs discussed in the paradox.
conceptual foundation for the study of quantum entanglement
Proposed by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in 1935, this thought experiment challenged the completeness of quantum mechanics and directly motivated the formal definition of entanglement.
Conceptual foundation for the entanglement required for quantum telepor...
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox highlighted the non-local correlations in quantum mechanics that serve as the essential resource for the teleportation protocol.
