Testing free will: New experiments on the quantum property that baffled Einstein
Briefly

Recent research by Carlos Vieira, Ravishankar Ramanathan, and Adan Cabello proposes experiments to ascertain the nature of quantum nonlocality, challenging previous theories. Following the 2022 Nobel Prize awarded for confirming quantum correlations, the article emphasizes that while experimental results exist, the underlying mechanism of nonlocality remains unclear. They argue that if one assumption of local hidden-variable theories is proven false, it necessitates the rejection of models allowing limited freedom of choice or instantaneous influences. This work aims to dispel misconceptions surrounding quantum nonlocality and enhance understanding of quantum physics.
The recent research suggests new experiments could help determine if quantum nonlocality arises from hidden variables or superluminal communication, providing clarity to longstanding debates.
Our paper illustrates that if just one assumption of local hidden-variable theories fails, it will definitively eliminate certain models that incorrectly constrain reality.
