Nowadays, it is commonly admitted that the experimental violation of Bells inequalities that was successfully demonstrated in the last decades by many experimenters, are indeed the ultimate proof of quantum physics and of its ability to describe the whole microscopic world and beyond. But the historical and scientific story may not be envisioned so clearly: it starts with the original paper of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) aiming at demonstrating that the formalism of quantum theory is incomplete. It then goes through the works of D. Bohm, to finally proceed to the famous John Bells relationships providing an experimental setup to solve the EPR paradox. In this communication is proposed an alternative reading of this history, showing that modern experiments based on correlations between light polarizations significantly deviate from the original spirit of the EPR paper. It is concluded that current experimental violations of Bells inequalities cannot be considered as an ultimate proof of the completeness of quantum physics models.

Recently quantum nonlocality has been classified into three distinct types: quantum entanglement, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering, and Bells nonlocality. Among which, Bells nonlocality is the strongest type. Bells nonlocality for quantum states is u
sually detected by violation of some Bells inequalities, such as Clause-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality for two qubits. Steering is a manifestation of nonlocality intermediate between entanglement and Bells nonlocality. This peculiar feature has led to a curious quantum phenomenon, the one-way Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering. The one-way steering was an important open question presented in 2007, and positively answered in 2014 by Bowles emph{et al.}, who presented a simple class of one-way steerable states in a two-qubit system with at least thirteen projective measurements. The inspiring result for the first time theoretically confirms quantum nonlocality can be fundamentally asymmetric. Here, we propose another curious quantum phenomenon: Bell nonlocal states can be constructed from some steerable states. This novel finding not only offers a distinctive way to study Bells nonlocality without Bells inequality but with steering inequality, but also may avoid locality loophole in Bells tests and make Bells nonlocality easier for demonstration. Furthermore, a nine-setting steering inequality has also been presented for developing more efficient one-way steering and detecting some Bell nonlocal states.
Newtons second law aids us in predicting the location of a classical object after knowing its initial position and velocity together with the force it experiences at any time, which can be seen as a process of continuous iteration. When it comes to d
iscrete problems, e.g. building Bell inequalities, as a vital tool to study the powerful nonlocal correlations in quantum information processing. Unless having known precisely the general formula of associated inequalities, iterative formulas build a bridge from simple examples to all elements in the set of Bell inequalities. Although exhaust all entities in the set, even in the subset of tight individuals, is a NP hard problem, it is possible to find out the evolution law of Bell inequalities from few-body, limited-setting and low-dimension situations to arbitrary $(n,k,d)$ constructions, i.e. $n$ particles, $k$ measurements per particle, and $d$ outcomes per measurement. In this work, via observing Sliwas 46 tight (3,2,2) Bell inequalities [{Phys. Lett. A}. 317, 165-168 (2003)], uniting the root method [{Phys. Rev. A}. 79, 012115, (2009)] and the idea of degeneration, we discover an iterative formula of Bell inequalities containing all $(n,k,2)$ circumstances, which paves a potential way to study the current Bell inequalities in terms of iterative relations combining root method on the one hand, and explore more interesting inequalities on the other.
The Leggett-Garg inequalities probe the classical-quantum boundary by putting limits on the sum of pairwise correlation functions between classical measurement devices that consecutively measured the same quantum system. The apparent violation of the
se inequalities by standard quantum measurements has cast doubt on quantum mechanics ability to consistently describe classical objects. Recent work has concluded that these inequalities cannot be violated by either strong or weak projective measurements [1]. Here I consider an entropic version of the Leggett-Garg inequalities that are different from the standard inequalities yet similar in form, and can be defined without reference to any particular observable. I find that the entropic inequalities also cannot be be violated by strong quantum measurements. The entropic inequalities can be extended to describe weak quantum measurements, and I show that these weak entropic Leggett-Garg inequalities cannot be violated either even though the quantum system remains unprojected, because the inequalities describe the classical measurement devices, not the quantum system. I conclude that quantum mechanics adequately describes classical devices, and that we should be careful not to assume that the classical devices accurately describe the quantum system.
We present a scheme for demonstrating violation of Bells inequalities using a spin-1/2 system entangled with a pair of classically distinguishable wave packets in a harmonic potential. In the optical domain, such wave packets can be represented by co
herent states of a single light mode. The proposed scheme involves standard spin-1/2 projections and measurements of the position and the momentum of the harmonic oscillator system, which for a light mode can be realized by means of homodyne detection. We discuss effects of imperfections, including non-unit efficiency of the homodyne detector, and point out a close link between the visibility of interference and violation of Bells inequalities in the described scheme.
Ambiguous measurements do not reveal complete information about the system under test. Their quantum-mechanical counterparts are semi-weak (or in the limit, weak-) measurements and here we discuss their role in tests of the Leggett-Garg inequalities.
We show that, whilst ambiguous measurements allow one to forgo the usual non-invasive measureability assumption, to derive an LGI that may be violated, we are forced to introduce another assumption that equates the invasive influence of ambiguous and unambiguous detectors. Based on this assumption, we derive signalling conditions that should be fulfilled for the plausibility of the Leggett-Garg test. We then propose an experiment on a three-level system with a direct quantum-optics realisation that satisfies all signalling constraints and violates a Leggett-Garg inequality.
