The development of quantum technologies has seen a tremendous
upsurge in recent years, and the theory of Bell nonlocality has
been key in making these technologies possible. Bell nonlocality is
one of the most striking discoveries triggered by quantum theory.
It states that in some situations, measurements of physical systems
do not reveal pre-existing properties; rather, the property is
created by the measurement itself. In 1964, John Bell demonstrated
that the predictions of quantum theory are incompatible with the
assumption that outcomes are predetermined. This phenomenon has
been observed beyond any doubt in the last decades. It is an
observation that is here to stay, even if quantum theory were to be
replaced in the future. Besides having fundamental implications,
nonlocality is so specific that it can be used to develop and
certify reliable quantum devices. This book is a logical, rather
than historical, presentation of nonlocality and its applications.
Part 1 opens with a survey of the meaning of Bell nonlocality and
its interpretations, then delves into the mathematical
formalisation of this phenomenon, and finally into its
manifestations in quantum theory. Part 2 is devoted to the
possibility of using the evidence of nonlocality for certification
of devices for quantum technologies. Part 3 explores some of the
extensions and consequences of nonlocality for the foundations of
physics.
