for by assuming superluminal causation. Healey argues against this claim that Bell’s concept of local causality is simply inapplicable to quantum theory and that “non-local” correlations obtained from quantum theory are perfectly compatible with relativity theory.[^8] So, the suggested violation of local causality in quantum theory and the associated claim concerning the incompatibility between quantum theory and relativity theory remain controversial.

Another route for suggesting that there is a severe tension between quantum theory and relativity theory is to argue that quantum theoretical “non-local” correlations ground counterfactual claims which are only true in the presence of superluminal causation.[^9] Such arguments do not necessarily presuppose any specific view of quantum states, and, inasmuch as they don’t, other moves are required to address them than adopting a non-ontic account of quantum states. The most promising strategies for responding are either to question that quantum theory really licences these counterfactuals at issue or to deny that these counterfactualy are concerned with causal connections in the first place.[^10] Fortunately, it is largely irrelevant for the purposes of the present paper whether or not such counterfactuals deserve to be called “causal” as long as no incompatibility between quantum theory and relativity theory arises in a
