Abstract
This paper discusses correlations between the results of measurements performed on physical systems which are widely separated, but have interacted in the past. It is shown that quantum correlations are s

This property leads to the following paradox, known as Bell’s theorem: Let us assume that the outcome of an experiment performed on one of the systems is independent of the choice of the experiment performed on the other. Now, let us try to imagine the results of alternative measurements, which could have been performed on the same systems i
