Nonexistence of Quantum Nonlocality

TL;DR

This paper argues that violations of Bell inequalities do not imply nonlocality but rather highlight the nonclassical nature of quantum mechanics, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing quantum from classical physics.

Contribution

It clarifies the misconception that Bell inequality violations prove nonlocality, emphasizing the nonclassical aspects of quantum mechanics instead.

Findings

Bell violations indicate nonclassicality, not nonlocality.

Misinterpretations arise from conflating quantum and classical physics.

The paper refutes the nonlocality implication of Bell inequalities.

Abstract

What violations of Bell inequalities teach us is that the world is quantum mechanical, i.e., nonclassical. Assertions that they imply the world is nonlocal arise from ignoring differences between quantum and classical physics.
