Wigner’s inequality, quantum-mechanical probability functions and hidden-variable theories

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We investigate the algebraic properties of the quantum-mechanical singlet state probability functions and the algebraic conditions which these functions satisfy. We, then, argue that violation of Wigner’s inequality by quantum mechanics is not significant in deriving conclusions about locally realistic hidden-variable theories, in particular, and local realism, in general.
