Working out an idea of Branciard, Rosset, Gisin and Pironio, we consider scenarios which feature several sources, but no choice of measurement for the observers. Every Bell scenario can be mapped into such a \\emph{correlation scenario}, and Bell's Theorem then discards those local hidden variable theories in which the sources are independent. However, most correlation scenarios do not arise from Bell scenarios, and we describe examples of (quantum) nonlocality in some of these scenarios, while posing many open problems along the way. Some of our scenarios have been considered before by mathematicians in the context of causal inference.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-09-02T14:18:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "correlation scenarios", "bell scenario", "bells theorem witnesses", "local hidden variable theories", "quantum theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "New Journal of Physics", "year": 2012, "month": "Oct", "volume": 14, "number": 10, "pages": 103001 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012NJPh...14j3001F" } } }
