While a vast body of experimental work confirms quantum nonlocality via the violation of Bell inequalities, minority theoretical interpretations argue that such correlations do not require literal physical action at a distance.
The retrieved papers overwhelmingly report experimental and theoretical work confirming quantum nonlocality and Bell inequality violations, which are standardly interpreted as demonstrating action at a distance or non-local correlations (papers 0, 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11). A small number of papers (2, 7) argue against interpreting these mathematical correlations as literal physical 'spooky action at a distance' by favoring alternative local interpretations or critiquing wave-function realism. Because the vast majority of empirical literature supports the non-local correlations tested by Bell inequalities, the verdict is SUPPORTED, while acknowledging dissenting interpretations.
