Description
Bell's theorem has been called 'the most important discovery of science' (Stapp) and 'the most profound open question of physics at the end of the twentieth century' (Santos). The interest for this fundamental property of all systems which can be described in realistic and local terms, but violated by the existing quantum theory, is very clearly growing, as shown by the high level and the originality of the contributions collected in these proceedings.
