Abstract: The idea of the preferred frame as a remedy for difficulties of the relativistic quantum mechanics in description of the non-local quantum phenomena was undertaken by physicists such as J. S. Bell and D. Bohm. The possibility of the existence of a preferred frame was also seriously treated by P. A. M. Dirac. In this paper, we propose an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen–type experiment for testing the possible existence of quantum preferred frame. Our analysis suggests that to verify whether a preferred frame of reference in the quantum world exists, it is enough to perform an EPR-type experiment with a pair of observers staying in the same inertial frame and with use of the massive EPR pair of spin–one-half or spin-one particles.
