• Title: Quantum non-locality: from denigration to the Nobel prize, via quantum cryptography
• Authors: Nicolas Gisin
• Abstract summary: In the late 1960s, a young physicist was sailing along the coast of California towards Berkeley, where he got a post-doc position in astronomy. His real goal was not astronomy, at least not immediately. First, John Clauser eagerly wanted to test some predictions of quantum theory that were at odds with a then recent and mostly ignored result by an Irish physicist.

• Abstract: In the late 1960s, a young physicist was sailing along the coast of California towards Berkeley, where he got a post-doc position in astronomy. But his real goal was not astronomy, at least not immediately. First, John Clauser eagerly wanted to test some predictions of quantum theory that were at odds with a then recent and mostly ignored result by an Irish physicist John Stewart Bell, working at the celebrated CERN near Geneva.

  Quantum entanglement and nonlocal correlations emerged as inevitable consequences of John Bell's paper on Bell's inequality. A cogent mechanism for the occurrence of this incredible event is presented in terms of a plausible quantum mechanical Einstein-Rosen bridge.

• My discussions with John Stuart Bell [0.0]
  In 1976, I met John Bell several times in CERN and we talked about a possible violation of optical theorem, purity tests, EPR paradox, Bell inequalities and their violation. I also reproduce handwritten notes, which I gave to Bell during our first meeting and a handwritten letter he sent to me in 1982. The research stimulated by Bell papers and experiments performed to check his inequalities led to several important applications of quantum entanglement in quantum information and quantum technologies.

• 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.
