Parameter Dependence and Bell nonlocality

Abstract

Bell's theorem asserts that no model that satisfies all of the plausible physical assumptions of outcome independence (OI), measurement independence (MI) and Parameter Independence (PI) can reproduce quantum mechanics. Here I find the optimum model that saturates CHSH inequality for the case that outcome independence and measurement independence hold but parameter dependence is allowed. I find the bound as a function of a measure of parameter dependence and show that the model proposed by [New Journal of Physics,12(8):083051] is optimal for one-way parameter dependence. The symbolic optimizations to find the saturating models are performed using the open source software Analytical Optimizer v1.0.
