New genetic algorithm to map the ‘edge of reality’ published in Physical Review A

Australian and German researchers have collaborated to develop a genetic algorithm to confirm the rejection of classical notions of causality.

RMIT’s Dr Alberto Peruzzo said: “Bell’s theorem excludes classical concepts of causality and is now a cornerstone of modern physics.

“But despite the fundamental importance of this theorem, only recently was the first ‘loophole-free’ experiment reported which convincingly verified that we must reject classical notions of causality.
