Quantum Foundations Beyond Bell's Theorem: A Topical Review
Abstract
We review a series of recent no-go theorems that extend the methodological and conceptual framework introduced by Bell's theorem to more sophisticated operational scenarios involving independent sources, quantum networks, joint measurements, and multiple observers. Many of these results were originally developed within quantum information science and are scattered across the literature, where their technical and application-driven success has partly obscured their broader foundational significance. We organize them around a common Bell-inspired methodology that extends beyond quantum nonlocality, and emphasize how increasingly rich operational structures change which physical assumptions can be tested.
