    Abstract

    The incompatibility of noncontextual hidden variables with quantum mechanics was proved by using the derivation of Kochen-Specker theorem. The noncontextual hidden variables were tested and potentially excluded by real experiments. The case of nonperfect correlations and detection efficiency was analyzed for local hidden variables. The result depended both on the hidden variables of the system and that of the apparatus.
