Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 050403 (2008) [4 pages]Hidden Variable Models for Quantum Theory Cannot Have Any Local Part
See accompanying Physics Synopsis It was shown by Bell that no local hidden variable model is compatible with quantum mechanics. If, instead, one permits the hidden variables to be entirely nonlocal, then any quantum mechanical predictions can be recovered. In this Letter, we consider general hidden variable models which can have both local and nonlocal parts. We show the existence of (experimentally verifiable) quantum correlations that are incompatible with any hidden variable model having a nontrivial local part, such as the model proposed by Leggett. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
