Von Neumann, Gödel and quantum incompleteness

Thomas Breuer

pp. 75-82

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.
