Quantum mechanics and relativistic causality together imply nonlocality: nonlocal correlations (that violate the CHSH inequality) and nonlocal equations of motion (the Aharonov-Bohm effect). Can we invert the logical order? We consider a conjecture that nonlocality and relativistic causality together imply quantum mechanics. We show that correlations preserving relativistic causality can violate the CHSH inequality more strongly than quantum correlations. Also, we describe nonlocal equations of motion, preserving relativistic causality, that do not arise in quantum mechanics. In these nonlocal equations of motion, an experimenter ``jams" nonlocal correlations between quantum systems.

  1. Can outcome communication explain Bell nonlocality?

    quant-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    For any qubit-qudit state under all projective measurements, an LHV model with outcome communication exists if and only if a standard LHV model without communication exists.

  2. Agency under indefinite causality: operational eternalism in higher-order quantum theory

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In indefinite-causal-order quantum theory, an observer is a perspective-dependent grouping of input/output data, with a new 'friendliness' criterion for causally compatible agents.

  3. Time-like Extra Dimensions: Quantum Nonlocality, Spin, and Tsirelson Bound

    physics.gen-ph 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper claims a 6D spacetime with two extra time dimensions explains quantum nonlocality and permits CHSH correlations above the Tsirelson bound, but the bound argument only shows an upper bound and does not establ...
