Nonlocality

In Classical physics, nonlocality is the direct influence of one object on another, distant object. In Quantum mechanics, nonlocality refers to the absence of a local, realist model in agreement with quantum mechanical predictions.

Nonlocality may refer to:

• Action at a distance in classical physics
• Quantum nonlocality arising from measurement correlations on quantum entangled states
• The Aharonov–Bohm effect
• Nonlocal Lagrangian
