Hardy's Experiment: the simplest proof of the violation of EPR's Local Realism

Abstract

Hardy's Experiment is an alternative to experimental verification of Bell's Theorem, which states that quantum mechanics is not a realistic local physical theory. Here we review the reformulation given by N.D. Mermin in 1994 of L. Hardy's original proposal presented in 1992, with the definition of basic concepts, indication of experimental achievements, and discussion of related topics.
