Hardy’s Paradox as a Demonstration of Quantum Irrealism
Foundations of Physics 50 (2):105-119 (2020)
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 nonlocal causality is not mandatory for its solution; quantum irrealism suffices.My notes
