From its seemingly non-intuitive and puzzling nature, most evident in numerous EPR-like gedanken experiments to its almost ubiquitous presence in quantum technologies, entanglement is at the heart of modern quantum physics. First introduced by Erwin Schrödinger nearly a century ago, entanglement has remained one of the most fascinating ideas that came out of quantum mechanics. Here, we attempt to explain what makes entanglement fundamentally different from any classical phenomenon. To this end…

Single-particle entanglement: Quantum nonlocality or quantum contextuality?
In 1927, at the Solvay conference, Einstein posed a thought experiment with the primary intention of showing the incompleteness of quantum mechanics; to prove it, he uses the instantaneous nonlocal…
In Praise of Quantum Uncertainty
TLDR
Ind determinism, or more precisely, locally consistent indeterminism, should be understood as the enabler of most quantum phenomena (and possibly all of them).

Single-particle entanglement gives rise to truly nonlocal effects like single-particle steering
In 1927, at the Solvay conference, Einstein posed a thought experiment with the primary intention of showing the incompleteness of quantum mechanics; to prove it, he uses the instantaneous nonlocal…
Two-photon interference: the Hong–Ou–Mandel effect
TLDR
The Hong-Ou-Mandel type of interference has so far been observed with massive particles, among others, such as electrons, atoms and plasmons, demonstrating the extent of this effect to larger and more complex quantum systems.
Nonlocal single particle steering generated through single particle entanglement
TLDR
It is proved that the single-particle entanglement gives rise to truly nonlocal effects at two faraway places, which opens the possibility of using the single’s entangled state for implementing truly non local task.
Experimental tests of Multiplicative Bell Inequalities
Bell inequalities are mathematical constructs that demarcate the boundary between quantum and classical physics. A new class of multiplicative Bell inequalities originating from a volume maximization…
Predictability, distinguishability, and entanglement.
TLDR
Results of this study show that the two duality relations are quantitatively connected via entanglement, including the polarization coherence theorem, which is understood in the light of the roots of the new, to the best of the authors' knowledge, results in the classical optical domain.
Single-particle steering and nonlocality: The consecutive Stern-Gerlach experiments
Quantum nonlocality and quantum steering are fundamental correlations of quantum systems which can not be created using classical resources only. Nonlocality describes the ability to influence the…
Quantifying Entanglement with Coherence
Quantifying entanglement is a work in progress which is important for the active field of quantum information and computation. A measure of bipartite pure state entanglement is proposed here, named…

Quantum correlations in separable multi-mode states and in classically entangled light
TLDR
To unveil the quantum aspects of often classically perceived systems, this review focuses more in detail on quantum discordant correlations between the light modes and on nonseparability properties of optical vector fields leading to entanglement between different degrees of freedom of a single beam.
The classical-quantum boundary for correlations: Discord and related measures
One of the best signatures of nonclassicality in a quantum system is the existence of correlations that have no classical counterpart. Different methods for quantifying the quantum and classical…
Geometry of the quantum set on no-signaling faces
Since Bell's theorem we know that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden variable models, the phenomenon known as quantum nonlocality. However, in spite of steady progress over years,…
Exploring the Limits of Quantum Nonlocality with Entangled Photons
Nonlocality is arguably among the most counterintuitive phenomena predicted by quantum theory. In recent years, the development of an abstract theory of nonlocality has brought a much deeper…
Experimental non-classicality of an indivisible quantum system
TLDR
An experiment with single photonic qutrits provides evidence that no joint probability distribution describing the outcomes of all possible measurements—and, therefore, no non-contextual theory—can exist.
Characterizing quantum channels with non-separable states of classical light
High-dimensional entanglement with spatial modes of light promises increased security and information capacity over quantum channels. Unfortunately, entanglement decays due to perturbations,…
A Classical Analogy of Entanglement
A classical analogy of quantum mechanical entanglement is presented, using classical light beams. The analogy can be pushed a long way, only to reach its limits when we try to represent…
Relativistic independence bounds nonlocality
TLDR
It is proved that theories with nonlocal correlations stronger than the quantum ones do not satisfy this notion of locality, and therefore, they either violate the underlying generalized uncertainty relations or allow experimenters to nonlocally tamper with the uncertainty relations of their peers.
Geometry of the set of quantum correlations
It is well known that correlations predicted by quantum mechanics cannot be explained by any classical (local-realistic) theory. The relative strength of quantum and classical correlations is usually…
