What is the difference between signaling and non-signaling quantum correlations, and what is a signaling channel?
This article talks about correlation and causality in quantum mechanics. In the abstract, under Framework for local quantum mechanics, it says (emphasis mine):
The most studied, almost epitomical, ...
