Question

Sandu Popescu (“poh-PESS-koo”) and Daniel Rohrlich (“roar-lick”) showed that theories in which relativistic causality and this property are axioms form a superset of quantum mechanics. Standard protocols in quantum (10[1])information theory use operations that [emphasize] do not have this property along with classical communication. Realist theories that [emphasize] do not have this property are violated by the three-particle (-5[1])GHZ state. Theories with this property violate the upper bound of “two square root two” on the expression: (-5[2])“E (-5[1])of A, B” plus “E of A, B-prime” (10[1])plus “E of A-prime, (-5[1])B” minus (-5[1])“E of A-prime, B-prime;” that expression is the CHSH inequality. Because quantum mechanics is causal and has this property, (-5[1])Einstein, Podolsky, (-5[1])and (10[1])Rosen argued that (-5[1])the theory was incomplete. (-5[2])Hidden (-5[1])variable (-5[1])theories must (-5[1])have this property to be able to predict quantum results, as argued by John Bell. For 10 points, name this property of being influenced (-5[1])by distant systems. (10[1])■END■ (10[7]0[4])

ANSWER: nonlocality [prompt on entangled or entanglement or correlated or correlation; prompt on descriptions of having hidden variables until “Hidden variable theories” is read] (The second sentence refers to LOCC protocols.)
