Bell Inequalities and Maximally Realistic Causal Quantum Mechanics

The De Broglie-Bohm (DeBB)[18] Causal Quantum Mechanics played a crucial role in Bell’s discovery [6] that quantum mechanics violates EPR local reality [3], and also in Bell’s search for an exact quantum mechanics. The experiments of Aspect et al [25] confirm quantum correlations between plane polarizations of two photons and violation of Bell’s inequalities by a factor √ 2. I prove that similar experiments with elliptic polarizers can also show quantum violations of Bell’s inequality by the same factor. I summarize our construction of a maximally realistic causal quantum mechanics in n − dimensional configuration space [21]. Phase space Bell inequalities and ’Marginal Theorems’ [33] play a crucial role.
