Bell Inequality Violations Without Entanglement? It's Just Postselection
read the original abstract
Recently Wang et al. have reported a violation of a Bell inequality without entanglement [arXiv:2507.07756]. We show that their result is an artifact of postselection. It is well known that postselection may yield Bell inequality violations, both in classical toy models and in real experiments with delayed-choice entanglement-swapping. Here we describe a classical analog of Wang et al.'s experiment, and show that it produces essentially the same results as their quantum version. We explain in detail why neither version is a challenge to Local Causality or local realism: the postselection entails a rejection of Bell's assumption of Statistical Independence.

Quantum nonlocal correlations of anomalous weak values
Post-selection enhances CHSH correlations in PPS ensembles but entanglement is required to exceed separable PPS bounds, enabling constructive post-selected entanglement witnesses for pure two-qubit states.

Localized Covariant Quantities Appear To Underlie Quantum Circuits
Local weak values appear as covariant tensors per qubit in universal quantum circuits, remaining unchanged by distant operations and obeying covariant dynamics when the circuit is treated all-at-once.
