I will briefly discuss three issues of fundamental physical significance for our quantum world, issues on which GianCarlo Ghirardi has worked long and hard and with great success: quantum nonlocality, the measurement problem, and the importance of local beables.

Separable states may have a kind of correlation which cannot be captured by standard measures of entanglement. These states do not violate Bell inequality and yet they can give computational power to quantum computers which surpass any classical computer. We discuss these states and in particular we focus on a well-known subclass of them called Werner states. We point out an intriguing...

Recent progress in technological developments allow to explore the quantum properties of very complex systems, bringing the question of whether also macroscopic systems share such features, within experimental reach. It seems feasible to generate for instance quantum superposition states of particles of mass of one million amu (atomic mass unit) [1]. The interest in such experiments is...
