- Abstract: Loophole-free experiments have demonstrated that at least one of three
features is false when the violation of Bell's inequalities is observed:
Locality, Realism or (what is lesser known) Ergodicity. An experiment is
proposed to find out, or at least to get an indication about, which one is
false. It is based on recording the time evolution of the rate of series of
outcomes that are found not-random in a pulsed Bell's setup. The results of
such experiment would be important not only to the foundations of Quantum
Mechanics. For, even if the foundational issue remained not fully decided, they
would have immediate practical impact on the efficient use of quantum-certified
Random Number Generators and the security of Quantum Key Distribution using
entangled states.

- Some consequences of Sica's approach to Bell's inequalities [55.2480439325792]
Louis Sica derived Bell's inequalities from the hypothesis that the time series of outcomes observed in one station does not change if the setting in the other station is changed.
In this paper, Sica's approach is extended to series with non ideal efficiency and to the actual time structure of experimental data.

We provide a scheme to certify unbounded randomness in a semi-device-independent way based on the maximal violation of Leggett-Garg inequalities.
The scheme is independent of the choice of the quantum state, and consequently even "quantum" noise could be utilized to self-test quantum measurements.

Bell experiments can be satisfactorily explained by assuming local nature for entangled particles.
New experiments are proposed so that the locality loophole may be closed.

We present an experimental realization of recent Bell-type operators designed to provide private random numbers that are secure against adversaries with quantum resources.
We use semi-definite programming to provide lower bounds on the generated randomness in terms of both min-entropy and von Neumann entropy.
Our results demonstrate the first experiment that certifies close to two bits of randomness from binary measurements of two parties.

A hidden variables model complying with the simplest form of Local Realism was recently introduced.

experiments [0.0]
Bell inequalities rest on three fundamental assumptions: realism, locality, and free choice.
We investigate the extent to which a given assumption needs to be relaxed for the other to hold at all costs.
Despite their disparate character, we show that both assumptions are equally costly.

Theory aimed to violate Bell's inequalities must start by giving up Boolean logic.
"Hard" problem is to predict the time values when single particles are detected.
"Soft" problem is to explain the violation of Bell's inequalities within (non-Boolean) Local Realism.

Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality.
This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment.
It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.

A trajectory is not an outcome of a quantum measurement, in the sense that there is no observable associated with it.
We show how to overcome this problem by considering a special case of our generic inequality that can be experimentally tested point-by-point in time.
