Comment on "Loophole-free Bell inequality"

TL;DR

This paper argues that recent Bell inequality experiments do not disprove local realism, as quantum theory remains local and realistic when interpreted through quantum Hilbert space, challenging the common interpretation of such experiments.

Contribution

It clarifies that quantum theory's local and realistic nature is preserved when properly interpreted, countering claims that Bell tests rule out local realism.

Findings

Bell inequality violations do not negate local realism when quantum Hilbert space is used for interpretation

Quantum theory remains local and realistic under proper interpretation

Recent experiments do not prove non-locality in nature

Abstract

A recent experiment yielding results in agreement with quantum theory and violating Bell inequalities was interpreted [Nature 526 (29 Octobert 2015) p. 682 and p. 649] as ruling out any local realistic theory of nature. But quantum theory itself is both local and realistic when properly interpreted using a quantum Hilbert space rather than the classical hidden variables used to derive Bell inequalities. There is no spooky action at a distance in the real world we live in if it is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics.
