Whether the quantum mechanics (QM) is non-local is an issue disputed for a long time. The violation of the Bell-type inequalities was considered as proving this non-locality. However, these inequalities are constructed on a class of local hidden variables, which obey the calculus with positive probabilities. Such a calculus is rather suitable for billiard balls while the QM deals with wave-packets of complex amplitudes. There is no wonder that a calculus with positive numbers does not match a calculus with complex numbers. The present text describes a different model of hidden variables for entanglements, model that reproduces the quantum predictions in different experiments, and also explains why the QM is nonlocal. The model deals with waves, some of them full and the others empty, and the hidden variables mark which waves are full. The basic physical concept with which the model operates is joint amplitudes of probability, and not probabilities. The latter are a secondary concept, the probability of a combination of results being equal to the absolute square of sum of all the contributing joint amplitudes. Thus the non-locality appears: a) a joint amplitude ignores distance, it handles distant particles as if they were one single particle at one single place, b) joint amplitudes are complex numbers and the sum of several contributions may vanish, blocking the respective combination of wave-packets and therefore of results. Although showing the success of the model, this text does not advocate for full/empty waves. It is shown that this hypothesis works only as long as one does not consider moving observers, and does not compare their conclusions. The real purpose here is to point to a severe impasse: assuming the existence of a preferred frame contradicts the theory of relativity, while refuting the full/empty waves idea one runs into other insurmountable difficulties.

We propose a method to generate analytical quantum Bell inequalities based on the principle of Macroscopic Locality. By imposing locality over binary processings of virtual macroscopic intensities, we establish a correspondence between Bell inequalit
ies and quantum Bell inequalities in bipartite scenarios with dichotomic observables. We discuss how to improve the latter approximation and how to extend our ideas to scenarios with more than two outcomes per setting.
Quantum generalizations of Bell inequalities are analytical expressions of correlations observed in the Bell experiment that are used to explain or estimate the set of correlations that quantum theory allows. Unlike standard Bell inequalities, their
quantum analogs are rare in the literature, as no known algorithm can be used to find them systematically. In this work, we present a family of quantum Bell inequalities in scenarios where the number of settings or outcomes can be arbitrarily high. We derive these inequalities from the principle of Information Causality, and thus, we do not assume the formalism of quantum mechanics. Considering the symmetries of the derived inequalities, we show that the latter give the necessary and sufficient condition for the correlations to comply with Macroscopic Locality. As a result, we conclude that the principle of Information Causality is strictly stronger than the principle of Macroscopic Locality in the subspace defined by these symmetries.
We discuss the possibility of devising cosmological observables which violate Bells inequalities. Such observables could be used to argue that cosmic scale features were produced by quantum mechanical effects in the very early universe. As a proof of
principle, we propose a somewhat elaborate inflationary model where a Bell inequality violating observable can be constructed.
Bounds, expressed in terms of d and N, on full Bell locality of a quantum state for $Ngeq 3$ nonlocally entangled qudits (of a dimension $dgeq 2$) mixed with white noise are known, to our knowledge, only within full separability of this noisy N-qudit
state. For the maximal violation of general Bell inequalities by an N-partite quantum state, we specify the analytical upper bound expressed in terms of dilation characteristics of this state, and this allows us to find new general bounds in $d, N$, valid for all $dgeq 2$ and all $Ngeq 3$, on full Bell locality under generalized quantum measurements of (i) the N-qudit GHZ state mixed with white noise and (ii) an arbitrary N-qudit state mixed with white noise. The new full Bell locality bounds are beyond the known ranges for full separability of these noisy N-qudit states.
A systematic approach is presented to construct non-homogeneous two- and three-qubit Bell-type inequalities. When projector-like terms are subtracted from homogeneous two-qubit CHSH polynomial, non-homogeneous inequalities are attained and the maxima
l quantum mechanical violation asymptotically equals a constant with the subtracted terms becoming sufficiently large. In the case of three-qubit system, it is found that most significant three-qubit inequalities presented in literature can be recovered in our framework. We aslo discuss the behavior of such inequalities in the loophole-free Bell test and obtain corresponding thresholds of detection efficiency.
