 | | The inequalities are named after John Bell, who in a series of papers in the mid-1960s critically examined von Neumann's proposed proof of the non-existence of hidden variables. |
 | | Experimental tests of Bell inequalities support the failure of local realism, and in particular, that some of unexpected correlations suggested by the EPR thought experiment do in fact occur. |
 | | However, the robustness assumption can be used to conclude that the correlation expressions are equal to those obtained by taking the limit of the averages on the entire run, including those values that were not selected for measurement. |
