Berkovitz, Joseph
The correlations between distant systems in typical quantum situations, such as Einstein-Podolosky-Rosen experiments, strongly suggest that the quantum realm involves curious types of non-local influences. In this paper, I study in detail the nature of these non-local influences, as depicted by various quantum theories. I show how different quantum theories realise non-locality in different ways, which reflect different ontogical settings

Cat, Jordi
The 'microcausality' condition in quantum field theory is typically resented and justified on the basis of general principles of physical causality. I explore in detail a number of alternative causal interpretations of this condition. I conclude that none is fully satisfactory, independent of further and controversial assumptions about the object and scope of quantum field theories. In particular the stronger causal readings require a fully reductionist and fundamentalist attitude to quantum field theory. I argue, in a deflationary spirit, for a reading of the 'microcausality' condition as mere boundary condition, inspired by Relativity, that different possible formulations of quantum field theory must obey

Curiel, Erik
All accounts of causality that presuppose the propagation or transfer or some physical stuff to be an essential art of the causal relation rely for the force of their causal claims on a principle of conservation for that stuff. General Relativity does not permit the rigorous formulation of appropriate conservation principles. Consequently, in so far as General Relativity is considered and fundamental physical theory, such accounts of causality cannot be considered fundamental. The continued use of such accounts of causality ought not be proscribed, but justification is due from those who would use them.
