Bell's Theorem, Quantum Probabilities, and Superdeterminism

TL;DR

This paper surveys Bell's theorem and explores alternative interpretations like quantum probabilities and superdeterminism, addressing their implications for non-locality and philosophical debates in quantum mechanics.

Contribution

It provides a concise overview of strategies challenging Bell's theorem, highlighting their philosophical significance and potential to reinterpret quantum non-locality.

Findings

Quantum probabilities offer alternative explanations to non-locality.

Superdeterminism challenges assumptions in Bell's theorem.

The issues have broad implications for quantum foundations and philosophy.

Abstract

In this short survey article, I discuss Bell's theorem and some strategies that attempt to avoid the conclusion of non-locality. I focus on two that intersect with the philosophy of probability: (1) quantum probabilities and (2) superdeterminism. The issues they raised not only apply to a wide class of no-go theorems about quantum mechanics but are also of general philosophical interest.
