• Abstract: In 1935, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) claimed the incompleteness of quantum mechanics based on the notions of realism (``{\it If, without in any way disrupting a system, we can predict with certainty - i.e., with a probability of one - the value of a physical quantity, then an element of physical reality corresponds to this physical quantity.}'') and locality (``{\it ...\,since the two systems no longer interact, no real change can take place in the second system in consequence of anything that may be done to the first system}''). EPR also insisted that ``{\it The elements of physical reality cannot be determined by \emph{a priori} philosophical considerations, but must be found by\,...\,experiments and measurements.}''. Here, employing an operational framework for testing realism in quantum systems, we envisage an experiment -- referred to as the Reality Quantum Correlator (RQC) -- capable of showing that the elements of reality in one laboratory can be correlated with causally disconnected choices, thus questioning EPR's locality. Empirical evidence supporting our theoretical predictions is then provided by implementing the corresponding quantum circuit on IBM's quantum computers.

We show that Alice's local quantum operations can be correlated with the erasure of the reality of observables in Bob's causally disconnected laboratory.

  In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data. Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution. Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.

  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

  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.
