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

No signaling and quantum key distribution.
TL;DR: A key distribution scheme provably secure against general attacks by a postquantum eavesdropper limited only by the impossibility of superluminal signaling is described, which stems from violation of a Bell inequality.

On the reality of the quantum state
TL;DR: In this paper, a no-go theorem on the reality of the quantum state is demonstrated, which states that if the quantum states merely represent information about the physical state of a system, then predictions that contradict those of quantum theory are obtained.

Observation of three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger entanglement
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the experimental observation of polarization entanglement for three spatially separated photons, known as Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, which play crucial role in fundamental tests of quantum mechanics versus local realism and in many quantum information and quantum computation schemes.

Quantum resource theories
Eric Chitambar,Gilad Gour +1 more
TL;DR: This paper introduced a new development in theoretical quantum physics, the ''resource-theoretic'' point of view, which aims to be closely linked to experiment, and to state exactly what result you can hope to achieve for what expenditure of effort in the laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum Computing
TL;DR: The subject of quantum computing brings together ideas from classical information theory, computer science, and quantum physics as mentioned in this paper, and this review aims to summarise not just quantum computing, but the whole subject of Quantum Information Theory.

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.
