However, unlike Bell's theorem, the conflict now was not of a statistical nature, as was the case with Bell's theorem, insofar as measurements on a single GHZ state could lead to conflicting predictions with ]oca] rea]istic mode]s [3-5].t in this paper we present the history of the creation of this theorem and analyze its scope.

The first paper is the original presentation of the GHZ theorem. The second paper, co-authored with Abner Shimony, contains a more detailed presentation of the theorem and its proof and suggests possible experiments, including momentum and energy coi relations among three and more photonsproduced through parametric down-conversion.

In 1985, unaware of the achievements in the quantum optics Harvard under Francis Pipkin on the same issue. The CASH paper triggered a string of community, Zeilinger and Horne tried to combine the interferometry experiments they were experimental tests, which continue to date, leading ultimately to the wide acknowledgment doing with Bell's theorem.
