Experimental consequences of objective local theories
Abstract
A broad class of theories, called "objective local theories," is defined, motivation for considering these theories is given, and experimental consequences of the class are investigated. An extension of previous analyses by Bell and by Clauser et al. shows that predictions of objective local theories and of quantum mechanics differ, and that an experimental test of the entire family of objective local theories can be performed. The experimental requirements are given. Objective local theories satisfying a plausible but experimentally untestable supplementary assumption are shown to be incompatible with existing experimental data.

Eberhard (1993) lowered this threshold to 67% by employing Clauser and Horne (1974) inequalities, albeit for non-maximally entangled states only.
“Eberhard (1993) managed to lower this threshold to 67% by employing, effectively, the Clauser and Horne (1974) inequalities, albeit for non-maximally entangled states, only.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
