A new no-go theorem for hidden variables theories Speaker(s): Guido Bacciagaluppi
Abstract: Consider the quantum predictions for EPR-type measurements on two systems with Hilbert space of dimension at least 3 in any maximally entangled state. I show that the only possible hidden variables model of these probabilities that satisfies both Shimony's and Jarrett's condition of parameter independence (or `locality') and Jones and Clifton's condition of conditional parameter independence (or `constrained locality') is trivial, i.e. given by the quantum probabilities themselves. I shall attempt to discuss also the meaning of the conditions and of this result.
