Measurement Dependence and Nonlocality in Quantum Mechanics

Explore a thought-provoking talk by Guido Bacciagaluppi from Utrecht University on "Measurement Dependence and Nonlocality" as part of the Foundations of Physics @Harvard Seminar Series. Delve into the experimental violation of Bell inequalities and its implications for nonlocality in quantum mechanics. Examine the concepts of Outcome Independence (OI), Parameter Independence (PI), and Measurement Independence (MI) in relation to experimental metaphysics. Investigate the potential for signaling across entangled pairs in violations of MI, and understand how this extends the programme of experimental metaphysics. Consider the implications of these findings for our understanding of nonlocality and its compatibility with relativity. Engage with cutting-edge research that challenges conventional interpretations of quantum mechanics and explores the fundamental nature of reality.
