Abstract

We prove a no-go theorem for a class of hidden variables theories that satisfy parameter independence. Specifically, we show that, assuming two conditions, there are no non-trivial hidden variables models of the quantum predictions for product measurements on two systems in any maximally entangled state in a Hilbert space of dimension at least 3x3. The two conditions are parameter independence and a condition that we call conditional parameter independence. The result is analogous to the recent no-go theorems based on Leggett's inequalities and their generalisations.
