The quantum entanglement and nonlocality,the most miraculous feature and resource of quantum information,do not only involve basic problems of quantum theory such as reality,locality,latent variable and measurement theory,but pose a fundamental question for philosophy.With a philosophical reflection on quantum entanglement and nonlocality,the paper discusses the philosophical significance of quantum entanglement and nonlocality.It bears an important significance for recognizing and understanding the information theory and technology.

In this work, we focus on the philosophical aspects and technical challenges that underlie the axiomatization of the non-Kolmogorovian probability framework, in connection with the problem of quantum contextuality. This fundamental feature of quantum theory has received a lot of attention recently, given that it might be connected to the speed-up of quantum computers-a phenomenon that is not fully understood. Although this problem has been extensively studied in the physics community, there are still many philosophical questions that should be properly formulated. We analyzed different problems from a conceptual standpoint using the non-Kolmogorovian probability approach as a technical tool.
