TLDR
In this article, it was shown that even without such a separability or locality requirement, no hidden variable interpretation of quantum mechanics is possible and that such an interpretation has a grossly nonlocal structure, which is characteristic of any such theory which reproduces exactly the quantum mechanical predictions.Abstract:
THE paradox of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen [1] was advanced as an argument that quantum mechanics could not be a complete theory but should be supplemented by additional variables These additional variables were to restore to the theory causality and locality [2] In this note that idea will be formulated mathematically and shown to be incompatible with the statistical predictions of quantum mechanics It is the requirement of locality, or more precisely that the result of a measurement on one system be unaffected by operations on a distant system with which it has interacted in the past, that creates the essential difficulty There have been attempts [3] to show that even without such a separability or locality requirement no "hidden variable" interpretation of quantum mechanics is possible These attempts have been examined elsewhere [4] and found wanting Moreover, a hidden variable interpretation of elementary quantum theory [5] has been explicitly constructed That particular interpretation has indeed a grossly nonlocal structure This is characteristic, according to the result to be proved here, of any such theory which reproduces exactly the quantum mechanical predictionsread more

Violation of Bell's Inequality by a Generalized Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen State Using Homodyne Detection
TL;DR: Using homodyning with weak coherent fields and photon counting, violations of Bell-type inequalities by the generalized Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state produced in a pulsed nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier are observed.

Fine-grained Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen–steering inequalities
TL;DR: A new steering inequality based on a fine-grained uncertainty relation to capture EPR-steering for bipartite systems that can experimentally detect all steerable two-qubit Werner state with only two measurement settings on each side is derived.

Qubit quantum state tomography
TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical basis for quantum tomography, its experimental implementation, the use of the maximum likelihood technique to account for measurement uncertainties, and the analysis of error are discussed.

Certainty in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle: Revisiting Definitions for Estimation Errors and Disturbance
Justin Dressel,Franco Nori +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the definitions of error and disturbance recently used in error-disturbance inequalities derived by Ozawa and others by expressing them in the reduced system space.

Bell violation in the Sky
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the possibility of setting up a cosmological Bell inequality violation experiment in the context of cosmology, based on the basic principles of quantum mechanics.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?
TL;DR: Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that one is led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.

Discussion of Experimental Proof for the Paradox of Einstein, Rosen, and Podolsky
D. Bohm,Yakir Aharonov +1 more
TL;DR: A brief review of the physical significance of the paradox of Einstein, Rosen, and Podolsky is given, and it is shown that it involves a kind of correlation of the properties of distant noninteracting systems, which is quite different from previously known kinds of correlation as discussed by the authors.
