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

Certifying the Building Blocks of Quantum Computers from Bell's Theorem.
TL;DR: This Letter provides a method based on Bell's theorem to certify coherent operations for the storage, processing, and transfer of quantum information, which completes the set of tools needed to certify all building blocks of a quantum computer.

Full Security of Quantum Key Distribution From No-Signaling Constraints
TL;DR: A cryptographic protocol for generating a distributed secret key from correlations that violate a Bell inequality by a sufficient amount is analyzed, and its security against eavesdroppers is proved, constrained only by the assumption that any information accessible to them must be compatible with the non-signaling principle.

Roots and Fruits of Decoherence
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of decoherence is defined and discussed in a historical context, and its essential consequences are illustrated by some of the essential consequences which may be relevant for the interpretation of quantum theory.

Detection of nonlocal atomic entanglement assisted by single photons
Lan Zhou,Yu-Bo Sheng +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient way for measuring the entanglement of atoms is presented, where the concurrence of atoms can be obtained according to the probability of picking up the singlet states of the atoms.

The Essence of Entanglement
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that quantum entanglement can be expressed as a violation of Bell's inequalities, which is the essence of quantum non-locality and the so-called "quantum non-localality".

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.
