Violation of Bell's inequalities in a quantum realistic framework

Abstract

We discuss the recently observed "loophole free" violation of Bell's inequalities in the framework of a physically realist view of quantum mechanics, which requires that physical properties are attributed jointly to a system, and to the context in which it is embedded. This approach is clearly different from classical realism, but it does define a meaningful "quantum realism" from a general philosophical point of view. Consistently with Bell test experiments, this quantum realism embeds some form of non-locality, but does not contain any action at a distance, in agreement with quantum mechanics.

This article is closely related to arxiv:1409.2120, with some parts condensed and others expanded, in order to spell out how the present approach explains quantum non-locality. In v2 some clarifications and improvements following referees remarks
