Abstract

John von Neumann was among the first to learn about Kurt Gödel’s results on the incompleteness of formal systems. Did this shape his views on the completeness of quantum mechanics? I will investigate this question from two viewpoints: von Neumann’s no-hidden-variables proof and his treatment of the quantum measurement problem
