Description

Quantum mechanics is a non local theory. To recover the locality principle some physicists suggested that the correlations between entangled particles could be established by communications propagating with a velocity vt > c in a preferred frame. In the previous DICE conference we reported the preliminary results of a high sensitivity experiment to test the superluminal models. Here we report the final results. No breaking of the quantum predictions has been found. Then, we infer that the velocity of the quantum communications has to be higher than a lower bound of the order of some millions of times the light velocity. (paper)
