• Abstract: Bell inequalities represent a milestone for contemporary Physics, both for quantum foundations investigation and technological applications (e.g., quantum communication and entanglement certification). Although loophole-free tests have been recently performed, a strong debate is still ongoing on the actual meaning of Bell inequality tests, for example on the possible additional hypotheses (end eventual loopholes) to be included in Bell's theorem, as well as on the implications for certain interpretations of quantum mechanics. A recent work [S. Virz\`i et al., Quantum Sci. Technol. 9, 045027 (2024)] challenges some of the statements appeared in this debate, achieving for the first time an experimental estimation of the entire Bell-CHSH parameter from a single entangled pair thanks to a weak-interaction-based measurement approach. Here we analyse the implications of this result for quantum mechanics foundations investigation, illustrating how it can tackle some of the aforementioned interpretations of Bell inequality tests and, more in general, of quantum mechanics itself.

  This study delves into the validity of quantum mechanical operators in the context of quantum gravity. A primary objective is to investigate the repercussions of these generalizations on the inherent non-locality within quantum mechanics.

  We present the first single-pair Bell inequality test, able to obtain a Bell parameter value for every entangled pair detected. This is made possible by exploiting sequential weak measurements, allowing to measure non-commuting observables in sequence on the same state.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

  We experimentally observe the violations of Leggett-Garg-Bell's inequalities on single and multi-qubit systems. Our analysis highlights the limits of nowadays quantum platforms, showing that the above-mentioned correlation functions deviate from theoretical prediction as the number of qubits and the depth of the circuit grow.

  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.

• 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.
