Abstract
This essay provides an analysis of two important theorems that arise in the context of quantum mechanics: the Kochen-Specker theorem, which challenges the existence of hidden variable theories; and the Conway-Kochen (free will) theorem, which can be seen as an improvement over the Kochen-Specker theorem, but instead focuses on challenging determinism.
