Contextual objectivity and quantum holism

TL;DR

This paper advocates for a realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics by replacing the concept of quantum non-locality with quantum holism, emphasizing the holistic nature of entanglement.

Contribution

It proposes a shift from the term 'quantum non-locality' to 'quantum holism' to better capture the physical essence of entanglement and discusses a realistic approach acknowledging local realism's limitations.

Findings

Replaces 'quantum non-locality' with 'quantum holism' for clarity.

Provides a revised set of questions and answers on quantum realism.

Emphasizes the holistic nature of entanglement in quantum mechanics.

Abstract

In our effort to restate a "realistic" approach to quantum mechanics, that would fully acknowledge that local realism is untenable, we add a few more questions and answers to the list presented in quant-ph/0203131. We also suggest to replace the very misleading wording "quantum non-locality" by "quantum holism", that conveys a much better intuitive idea of the physical content of entanglement.
