TL;DR Summary
The challenges posed by quantum entanglement in quantum foundation
I was studying about the quantum entanglement phenomena and got introduced to the concept of EPR paradox. From this juncture, I see two schools of thought, one describing quantum mechanics as a probabilistic description and the other brings into question the local hidden variable theory. These two contending schools of thought, I think, can drastically change the way undergrad students study Physics. Hereby, I am interested to know what are the scopes of research in quantum foundation, concerned with the quantum entanglement phenomenon.

This question is way too broad for a useful discussion, so this thread is closed. If you have a specific reference that poses a particular question or problem, you can start a new thread to discuss that.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
