Colloquium: Bell's theorem and locally mediated reformulations of quantum mechanics

KB Wharton, N Argaman - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
Bell's theorem rules out many potential reformulations of quantum mechanics, but within a
generalized framework it does not exclude all locally mediated models. Such models …

A" thoughtful" Local Friendliness no-go theorem: a prospective experiment with new assumptions to suit

HM Wiseman, EG Cavalcanti, EG Rieffel - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
A recent paper by two of us and co-workers [1], based on an extended Wigner's friend
scenario, demonstrated that certain empirical correlations predicted by quantum theory (QT) …

From the Kochen-Specker theorem to noncontextuality inequalities without assuming determinism

R Kunjwal, RW Spekkens - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
The Kochen-Specker theorem demonstrates that it is not possible to reproduce the
predictions of quantum theory in terms of a hidden variable model where the hidden …

[HTML][HTML] Bell's theorem

W Myrvold, M Genovese, A Shimony - 2004 - seop.illc.uva.nl
Bell's Theorem is the collective name for a family of results, all of which involve the
derivation, from a condition on probability distributions inspired by considerations of local …

Causarum Investigatio and the Two Bell's Theorems of John Bell

HM Wiseman, EG Cavalcanti - Quantum [Un] Speakables II: Half a …, 2017 - Springer
Abstract “Bell's theorem” can refer to two different theorems that John Bell proved, the first in
1964 and the second in 1976. His 1964 theorem is the incompatibility of quantum …

Discovering quantum causal models

S Shrapnel - The British Journal for the Philosophy of …, 2019 - journals.uchicago.edu
Abstract Costa and Shrapnel ([2016]) have recently proposed an interventionist theory of
quantum causation. The formalism generalizes the classical methods of Pearl ([2000]) and …

Quantum Reality Erasure with Spacelike-Separated Operations

JS Araújo, DS Starke, AS Coelho, J Maziero… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In 1935, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen argued that quantum mechanics is incomplete,
based on the assumption that local actions cannot influence elements of reality at a distant …

Nonlocality in Bell's theorem, in Bohm's theory, and in many interacting worlds theorising

M Ghadimi, MJW Hall, HM Wiseman - Entropy, 2018 - mdpi.com
“Locality” is a fraught word, even within the restricted context of Bell's theorem. As one of us
has argued elsewhere, that is partly because Bell himself used the word with different …

Contextuality beyond the Kochen-Specker theorem

R Kunjwal - arXiv preprint arXiv:1612.07250, 2016 - arxiv.org
When it isn't possible to tell two distinct experimental procedures apart purely from their
input/output statistics, then it seems a plausible hypothesis that the two procedures must be …

The assumptions of Bell's proof

R Tumulka - arXiv preprint arXiv:1501.04168, 2015 - arxiv.org
While it is widely agreed that Bell's theorem is an important result in the foundations of
quantum physics, there is much disagreement about what exactly Bell's theorem shows. It is …
