Phys. Rev. D 28, 2477–2484 (1983)How to make quantum mechanics look like a hidden-variable theory and vice versaReceived 9 June 1983; published in the issue dated 15 November 1983 The quantum theory of a singlet spin-½ system is developed in terms of angular variables using a quantum-distribution-function technique. These calculations demonstrate a much closer correspondence between quantum mechanics and certain hidden-variable theories than was previously appreciated. It is found that a new type of hidden-variable theory is suggested by the quantum-distribution-function treatment of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm spin-spin correlation problem which is in agreement with quantum theory but is "nonlocal." © 1983 The American Physical Society URL:
