Non-local quantum correlations between distant particles cannot be explained by signals propagating slower than the speed of light. It is now shown that they cannot be explained by hidden influences propagating faster than the speed of light either, because that would permit faster-than-light communication.

Tripartite quantum state violating the hidden-influence constraints
The possibility to explain quantum correlations via (possibly) unknown causal influences propagating gradually and continuously at a finite speed v>c has attracted some attention recently. In…

TLDR
Here, the lower bound speed of spooky action was 4 orders of magnitude of the speed of light and the loopholes were closed by observing a 12 h continuous violation of the Bell inequality.
Are There Quantum Effects Coming from Outside Space-time? Nonlocality, free will and
Observing the violation of Bell’s inequality tells us something about all possible future theories: they must all predict nonlocal correlations. Hence Nature is nonlocal. After an elementary…
Nonlocality beyond quantum mechanics
There are good reasons to consider nonlocality to be the defining feature of quantum mechanics, but stronger nonlocal correlations than those predicted by quantum theory could exist, which raises the…
Fast measurements of entanglement over a kilometric distance to test superluminal models of Quantum Mechanics: final results
Quantum mechanics is a non local theory. To recover the locality principle some physicists suggested that the correlations between entangled particles could be established by communications…
Approaching time measurement with Quantum Information Theory
In this thesis a general non-relativistic operational model for quantum clocks called quantum hourglass is devised. Taking results from the field of Quantum Information Theory the limitations of such…

In this paper we make an extensive description of quantum non-locality, one of the most intriguing and fascinating facets of quantum mechanics. After a general presentation of several studies on this…
Decoherence-free measurements in steering tasks
Quantum entanglement has been used as an experimental tool to control the state of a quantum subsystem by measurements in its twin subsystem by Kwiat and Chiao 21 year ago, already, with entangled…
Quantum correlations in Newtonian space and time: arbitrarily fast communication or nonlocality
We investigate possible explanations of quantum correlations that satisfy the principle of continuity, which states that everything propagates gradually and continuously through space and time. In…

Superluminal hidden communication as the underlying mechanism for quantum correlations: Constraining models
Since Bell's theorem, it is known that quantum correlations cannot be described by local variables (LV) alone: if one does not want to abandon classical mechanisms for correlations, a superluminal…
Quantum nonlocality as an axiom
In the conventional approach to quantum mechanics, indeterminism is an axiom and nonlocality is a theorem. We consider inverting the logical order, making nonlocality an axiom and indeterminism a…
Bell's inequality test: more ideal than ever

TLDR
This work performed a Bell test over more than 24 hours between two villages separated by 18 km and approximately east–west oriented, with the source located precisely in the middle and continuously observed two-photon interferences well above the Bell inequality threshold.
