Hardy's paradox as a demonstration of quantum irrealism
arXiv:1910.00450 · doi:10.1007/s10701-020-00321-z
Abstract
Hardy's paradox was originally presented as a demonstration, without inequalities, of the incompatibility between quantum mechanics and the hypothesis of local causality. Equipped with newly developed tools that allow for a quantitative assessment of realism, here we revisit Hardy's paradox and argue that non-local causality is not mandatory for its solution; quantum irrealism suffices.
