Contribution

It proposes a novel family of models that relax measurement independence, providing a fresh perspective on local realism and quantum correlations.

Findings

Models reproduce quantum predictions with relaxed measurement independence

Highlights nuanced relationship between local determinism and quantum mechanics

Abstract

This work investigates the implications of relaxing the measurement independence assumption in Bell's theorem by introducing a new class of local deterministic models that account for both particle preparation and measurement settings. Our model reproduces the quantum mechanical predictions under the assumption of relaxed measurement independence, demonstrating that the statistical independence of measurement settings does not necessarily preclude underlying correlations. Our findings highlight the nuanced relationship between local determinism and quantum mechanics, offering new insights into the nature of quantum correlations and hidden variables.
