CHAPTER

The Importance of Locality in Quantum Mechanics

The Nobel Prize went to when to clouds or an asp a ensigner recently for doing the experiments that showed that the violation of Bell's inequality actually occurs. The intuition of causal locality basically says nothing that Alice does can have any actual influence or effect on what Bob sees, right? That doesn't mean there can't be correlations between what they see. It was a rough time for the philosophy of quantum mechanics in certain ways.
