Quantum Physics and Statistical Causal Models

We give a simple proof of Bell's inequality in quantum mechanics using theory from causal interaction, which, in conjunction with experiments, demonstrates that the local hidden variables assumption is false. The proof sheds light on relationships between the notion of causal interaction and interference between treatments.

Joint work with Tyler VanderWeele, Richard Gill and Thomas Richardson.
