*One of the most famous implications of quantum mechanics is nonlocality—but does quantum theory require that conclusion?*
Michel Bitbol argues that quantum mechanics predicts correlations between measurements and suggests that those correlations do not necessarily require a nonlocal interpretation. He explores alternative ways of understanding what quantum theory tells us about reality.
