Abstract

We reply to the Comments by Kupczynski and Lambare on our recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 111, 022204 (2025)], questioning our claims on the implications on quantum mechanics interpretations (and alternative theories) generated by the results of a recent experiment [Quantum Sci. Technol. 9, 045027 (2024)] demonstrating the possibility of measuring the entire Bell parameter on a single entangled pair.
