Using Randomness to decide among Locality, Realism and Ergodicity

Abstract: Loophole-free experiments have demonstrated that at least one of three features is false when the violation of Bell's inequalities is observed: Locality, Realism or (what is lesser known) Ergodicity. An experiment is proposed to find out, or at least to get an indication about, which one is false. It is based on recording the time evolution of the rate of series of outcomes that are found not-random in a pulsed Bell's setup. The results of such experiment would be important not only to the foundations of Quantum Mechanics. For, even if the foundational issue remained not fully decided, they would have immediate practical impact on the efficient use of quantum-certified Random Number Generators and the security of Quantum Key Distribution using entangled states.
