- Abstract: Violation of the CHSH inequality supposedly demonstrates an irreconcilable conflict between quantum mechanics and local, realistic hidden variable theories. We show that the mathematical assumptions underlying the proof of the CHSH inequality are, in fact, incompatible with the physics of the experiments testing such inequality. This implies that we cannot dismiss local realistic hidden variable theories on the basis of currently available experimental data yet. However, we also show that an experimental proof of CHSH inequality is, in principle, possible, but it is unclear how to implement, in practice, such an experiment.

Most tests of validity of local realistic hidden-variable theories with respect to quantum mechanics are based on inequalities such as Bell's inequality.
We present a simple alternative test which does not involve inequalities, but a direct comparison between correlation functions given by quantum mechanics and local realistic hidden-variable theories.

We present a formalization of several fundamental notions and results from Quantum Information theory.
The proof of the latter result is based on the so-called CHSH inequality, and it is the violation of this inequality that was experimentally evidenced by Aspect.
We also formalize various results related to the violation of the CHSH inequality, such as Tsirelson's bound which permits to obtain the maximum violation of this inequality in a quantum setting.

In a measurement in which some variables are tested, other variables, not tested, have no defined value.
It is proved that the correct conclusion of the violation of the CHSH inequality is different.

We consider the problem of performing Bayesian inference in probabilistic models where observations are accompanied by uncertainty, referred to as uncertain evidence'
We explore how to interpret uncertain evidence, and by extension the importance of proper interpretation as it pertains to inference about latent variables.
We devise concrete guidelines on how to account for uncertain evidence and we provide new insights, particularly regarding consistency.
