The Common Cause Principle was introduced by Hans Reichenbach, in The Direction of
Time, which was published posthumously in 1956. Suppose that two events A and B are …

The common cause principle says that every correlation is either due to a direct causal effect
linking the correlated entities or is brought about by a third factor, a so-called common …

John Bell showed that a big class of local hidden-variable models stands in conflict with
quantum mechanics and experiment. Recently, there were suggestions that empirically …

Standard derivations of the Bell inequalities assume a common-common-cause-system that
is a common screener-off for all correlations and some additional assumptions concerning …

According to Bell's theorem a large class of hidden-variable models obeying Bell's notion of
local causality (LC) conflict with the predictions of quantum mechanics. Recently, a Bell-type …

We prove new results on common cause closedness of quantum probability spaces, where
by a quantum probability space is meant the projection lattice of a non-commutative von …

It so happens that classical physical theories can be interpreted as a representation of local
interactions between systems with determinate properties. Orthodox quantum mechanics …
