Summary

This chapter is aimed to dissociate nonlocality fromquantum theory. We indicate that the tests on violation of the Bell inequalitiescan be interpreted as statistical tests of observables local incompatibility.In fact, these are tests on violation of the Bohr complementarityprinciple. Thus, the attempts to couple experimental violations of the Bell-type inequalities with “quantum nonlocality” are misleading. These violationsare explained by the standard quantum theory as exhibitions of observablesincompatibility even for a single quantum system. Mathematically this chapter is based on the Landau equality. Thequantum CHSH-inequality is considered withoutcoupling to the tensor product, We point out that the notion of local realism isambiguous. The main impact of the Bohm–Bell experiments is on the developmentof quantum technology: creation of efficient sources of entangledsystems and photodetectors.
