Abstract: In this chapter we discuss the Einstein Podolsky Rosen theorem and its strong relation with Bell's theorem. The central role played by the concept of beable introduced by Bell is emphasized. In particular we stress that beables involved in EPR and Bell theorems are not limited to hidden supplementary variables (e.g., like in the de Broglie-Bohm (dBB) pilot-wave theory) but also include the wave function. In full agreement with Bell this allows us the reformulate the EPR and Bell results as strong theorems concerning nonlocality for quantum mechanics itself and not only for hidden-variables approaches as it is often mistakenly assumed. Furthermore, we clarify some repeated ambiguities concerning `local-realism' and emphasize that neither realism nor determinism nor counterfactual definiteness are prerequisites of EPR and Bell theorems.

On Removing the Classical-Quantum Boundary [0.0]
We argue that it is the assumption of counterfactual definiteness and not locality or realism that results in Bell inequality violations. An implication here is that a local hidden variable theory, in the configuration space of classical mechanics cannot be ruled out.

Correspondence Between the Energy Equipartition Theorem in Classical Mechanics and its Phase-Space Formulation in Quantum Mechanics [62.997667081978825]
In quantum mechanics, the energy per degree of freedom is not equally distributed. We show that in the high-temperature regime, the classical result is recovered.

We provide a new formulation of the Local Friendliness no-go theorem of Bong et al [Nat. Phys. 16, 1199 ( 2020)] from fundamental causal principles. quantum causal models have been proposed as a way to maintain a peaceful coexistence between quantum mechanics and relativistic causality.

Bell nonlocality in networks [62.997667081978825]
Bell's theorem proves that quantum theory is inconsistent with local physical models. In the last decade, the investigation of nonlocality has moved beyond Bell's theorem to consider more sophisticated experiments. This review discusses the main concepts, methods, results and future challenges in the emerging topic of Bell nonlocality in networks.

Explicit construction of Local Hidden Variables for any quantum theory up to any desired accuracy [0.0]
The machinery of quantum mechanics is fully capable of describing a single realistic world. Bell's theorem is not applicable in the cases considered. The potential importance of our construction in model building is discussed.

Observers of quantum systems cannot agree to disagree [55.41644538483948]
We ask whether agreement between observers can serve as a physical principle that must hold for any theory of the world. We construct examples of (postquantum) no-signaling boxes where observers can agree to disagree.

Non-Boolean Hidden Variables model reproduces Quantum Mechanics' predictions for Bell's experiment [91.3755431537592]
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.

Reformulating Bell's Theorem: The Search for a Truly Local Quantum Theory [0.0]
Bell's "no-go" theorem rests on three axioms, local causality, no superdeterminism, and one world. We show that by assuming local causality and no superdeterminism, we can give a direct proof of many worlds. We identify a local many worlds interpretation that replaces the wave function with a separable Lorentz-invariant wave-field.

Quantum Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
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.

Bell's theorem for trajectories [62.997667081978825]
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.
