For example\, it is often incorrectly chara cterized as disproving hidden variables\, or proving action-at-a-distance. Even experts in quantum foundations are sometimes unaware of subtleties concerning the role of an “arrow of time” in Bell’s analysis and the possibilities of using retrocausation to model quantum entanglement in a locally-mediated\, spacetime-based framework. This talk will attempt to c larify these and other issues\, detailing an explicit retrocausal model wh ich accounts for maximally entangled states. \n\nBased on "Colloquium: Be ll's theorem and locally mediated reformulations of quantum mechanics"\, K .B. Wharton and N. Argaman.
