Onthological models predictively inequivalent to quantum theory

Quantum Physics 2013-04-29 v2

Abstract

Recently, it has been argued that no extension of quantum theory can have improved predictive power under a strong assumption of free choice of the experimental settings and validity of quantum mechanics. Here, under a different free choice assumption, we describe a model which violates this statement for almost all states of a bipartite two-level system, in a possibly experimentally testable way. From consistency with quantum mechanics and the nonsignaling principle, we derive a bound on the local averages for the family of deterministic ontological theories that our model belongs to.
