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

A philosopher looks at quantum mechanics (again)
TL;DR: The interpretation of quantum mechanics is a philosophical problem as mentioned in this paper, but with only the necessary minimum of philosophical knowledge. But the interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is not a simple philosophical problem in detail.

Robust quantum gates for open systems via optimal control: Markovian versus non-Markovian dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of one-, two-and three-qubit quantum gates for interacting qubits using optimal control is analyzed for a large set of problems in terms of the fidelities attained and the observed convergence behavior.

Monogamy of Bell's inequality violations in nonsignaling theories.

TL;DR: It is shown that monogamy relations (tradeoffs) between strengths of violations of Bell's inequalities from the nonsignaling condition with an arbitrary large number of partners, outcomes, and measurement settings can be derived.

QBism and the Greeks: why a quantum state does not represent an element of physical reality
TL;DR: In QBism, a quantum state does not represent an element of physical reality but an agent's personal probability assignments, reflecting his subjective degrees of belief about the future content of his experience as mentioned in this paper.

Entanglement of identical particles and the detection process

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified entanglement concept for identical particles is introduced, which takes into account the possible deletion of many-particle which-way information through the detection process.

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.
