In the 1920s, the old quantum theory became a new quantum mechanics through the efforts of Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Dirac and others. Many assumptions of the old quantum theory can be directly derived from the new quantum mechanics. However, the interpretation of the physical meaning of quantum mechanics has produced great differences among physicists. One of the most famous is the three great debates between Bohr and Einstein. Among them, the fifth solvay conference in Brussels, Belgium in 1927 was the first big debate between Bohr and Einstein, which marked the openness of the "Bolivia-love debate"; The most dramatic second great debate took place three years later during the Sixth Solvay Conference in 1930. However, the "superposition state" and "entangled state" involved in the EPR theory in the third great debate in 1935 became the growing point of the new development of quantum theory, which directly led to the great development of quantum mechanics in the next few decades. This paper mainly describes the scenes of these three great debates, including the background of the debates and the specific contents of the dialogue, which also provides an example for future academic debates.
