Michael Nauenberg Submitted to “Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell’s theorem” It is a pleasure to contribute to this anthology some of my recollections of John Bell. I first met him at SLAC, when we were visitors during 1964-65 when he was on leave from CERN, and I was on leave from the Columbia University Physics Department…. Read more →

Bell’s theorem has been called “the most profound discovery of science”. However, there have been controversies on the deep implications of the theorem. The main purpose of this online workshop is to highlight the existing debates and address the controversies. Another purpose is to get some constructive inputs to the forthcoming Bell volume edited by Mary Bell and Shan Gao. This… Read more →
Harvey R. Brown and Christopher G. Timpson Submitted to “Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell’s theorem” Between 1964 and 1990, the notion of nonlocality in Bell’s papers underwent a profound change as his nonlocality theorem gradually became detached from quantum mechanics, and referred to wider probabilistic theories involving correlations between separated beables. The proposition that standard quantum mechanics… Read more →

International Journal of Quantum Foundations (ISSN 2375-4729) has started a new type of open peer review for some received manuscripts. We hope this will help improve the peer review process of this journal. Here are two examples #1 and #2. Thanks to the authors and the reviewers for their support for this new system. Although most papers are still reviewed in the standard way, there will… Read more →
