- Title: Reply to "Comment on 'Nonlocality claims are inconsistent with
Hilbert-space quantum mechanics' '"
- Authors: Robert B. Griffiths
- Abstract summary: It was argued that Bell inequalities are based on classical, not quantum, physics, and hence their violation in experiments provides no support for the claimed existence of peculiar nonlocal and superluminal influences in the real (quantum) world.
This Reply to Lambare's Comment seeks to clarify some issues related to the correct use of Hilbert space quantum mechanics for identifying the microscopic causes of later macroscopic measurement outcomes.

- Abstract: In Phys. Rev. A 101, 022117 (2020), it was argued that Bell inequalities are
based on classical, not quantum, physics, and hence their violation in
experiments provides no support for the claimed existence of peculiar nonlocal
and superluminal influences in the real (quantum) world. This Reply to
Lambare's Comment, Phys. Rev. A 104, 066201 (2021), on that paper seeks to
clarify some issues related to the correct use of Hilbert space quantum
mechanics for identifying the microscopic causes of later macroscopic
measurement outcomes, a matter not properly addressed by Bell, who used
classical hidden variables in place of the Hilbert subspaces (equivalently,
their projectors) employed by von Neumann in his \it{Mathematical Foundations
of Quantum Mechanics}.

We prove that each of these theories contains pure states which are not rays of the Hilbert space.
We also prove that these alternatives violate the finite-dimensionality of mixed states.

The view exists that the Bell inequality is a mere inconsistent application of classical concepts to a well-established quantum world.
We explain why a correct assessment of the Bell inequality does not in fact conflict with Griffiths's views of quantum locality.

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.

We develop a generalized Clauser-Horne inequality pertaining especially to the high energy physics processes, which is quantum mechanical intervene free.
We find, in the process of pseudoscalar quarkonium exclusive decay to entangled $LambdabarLambda$ pairs, the inequality could be violated and is verifiable in high energy experiments, like BES III or BELLE II.
