He was famously wrong about quantum entanglement. Specifically he thought there must be "hidden variables" to explain why entangled particles seem to communicate their states faster than light. His famous quip "Spooky Action at a Distance" was him mocking what turned out to be true: that there are no hidden variables and no faster than light communication.
