Title: All entangled quantum states are nonlocal: equivalence between locality and separability in quantum theory

Abstract:
In this talk I will show how, by slightly modifying the rules of nonlocal games, one can prove that all entangled states violate local realism.

The conference focuses on causality and nonlocality in physics, with emphasis on its implications with time machines. In particular this issue will be dealt with from the viewpoints of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, two theories that, even though extensively verified on their own, are seemingly irreconcilable up today.
