Abstract: WWe measure time evolution of Minimum Entropy and (estimated) Kolmogorov's Complexity of binary time series during short pulses in a specially designed optical Bell's experiment. We compare evolution between the cases with stations placed close and separated 24m in straight line. This provides a clue about which one of the hypotheses necessary for the derivation and observation of Bell's inequalities is false. This is a foundational problem that has consequences in the field of random numbers' generation. Our results are consistent (95% statistical significance) with falsity of 'Realism' as defined to derive the Bell's inequalities, in agreement with the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Unrelated to the foundational problem, our observations have practical impact on the efficient use of quantum Random Number Generators and Quantum Key Distribution devices.

Time series and the meaning of quantum non-locality [55.2480439325792]
The derivation of Bell's inequalities gives precise meaning to the idea of quantum non-locality. It also makes evident why using it for faster than light signaling is impossible. It is demonstrated that series of outcomes, even if they violate Bell's inequalities, can be always embedded in a set of factual and counter-factual data.

Temporal Bell inequalities in non-relativistic many-body physics [0.0]
We show that a temporal Clauser-Horne inequality for two spins is violated for a nonzero time interval between the measurements if the two measured parties are connected by a spin chain.<n>The dynamics we analyze shows that, as expected in a non-relativistic setup, the spreading of information is fundamentally limited by the Lieb-Robinson bound.

Measuring the Evolution of Entanglement in Compton Scattering [101.11630543545151]
The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two. Our dedicated experiment with photons confirms these results and explains the "Puzzle of Decoherence" observed recently.

Some consequences of Sica's approach to Bell's inequalities [55.2480439325792]
Louis Sica derived Bell's inequalities from the hypothesis that the time series of outcomes observed in one station does not change if the setting in the other station is changed. In this paper, Sica's approach is extended to series with non ideal efficiency and to the actual time structure of experimental data.

Double-slit experiment revisited [0.0]
The double-slit experiment is one of the quintessential quantum experiments. It requires the specification of the joint position and time distribution of detection at the screen. We consider Bohmian mechanics, which allows for a natural and practical approach to this problem.

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.

A strong no-go theorem on the Wigner's friend paradox [0.0]
We prove that if quantum evolution is controllable on the scale of an observer, then one of 'No-Superdeterminism', 'Locality' or 'Absoluteness of Observed Events' must be false. We show that although the violation of Bell-type inequalities in such scenarios is not in general sufficient to demonstrate the contradiction between those three assumptions, new inequalities can be derived in a theory-independent manner.
