Boris Podolsky was a Soviet physicist known for his contributions to quantum mechanics. He is perhaps most famously associated with the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, which he co-authored with Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in a 1935 paper.

Boris Podolsky coauthored the 1935 argument of Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen about the completeness of the wave function. Their example correlates two distant particles so that a measurement on one can predict either the other's position or its momentum. Combining their certainty-based criterion for an element of reality with the assumption that the remote measurement does not disturb the second particle leads to a tension with a complete wave function description. The argument states assumptions about reality and disturbance; it is distinct from the later experimentally testable Bell inequalities.[ref]
