Entanglement, Bell inequalities and our vision of the world
The QubiTO team is organising a series of seminars dedicated to the foundations of quantum mechanics.
The second seminar will take place on 26 June 2026 at 6:00 p.m. and will feature Professor Marco Genovese (INRiM) presenting a talk entitled Entanglement, Bell Inequalities and Our Vision of the World.
Abstract
Entanglement is the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics and has been at the basis of most of the debate on the foundations of quantum mechanics, becoming more recently also a fundamental resource for the second quantum technological revolution.
Starting from 1935, the EPR paper raised the question of whether the world is truly probabilistic or whether a more general deterministic theory exists, with quantum mechanics as an approximation. A fundamental contribution was the 1964 Bell theorem, which demonstrated that non-local hidden variable theory (LHVT) and quantum mechanics do not yield identical predictions for experiments on correlations of entangled states.
This theoretical paper started a long experimental work that culminated with 2015 experiments falsifying, without any possible loophole, LHVTs.
In this talk, prof. Marco Genovese (INRIM) will present these issues, discussing the impact on our vision of the universe.
