Abstract
In a previous paper, Hayden and I ( Deutsch & Hayden 2000 Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 456 , 1759–1774. ( doi:10.1098/rspa.2000.0585 )) proved, using the Heisenberg picture, that quantum physics satisfies Einstein's criterion of locality. Wallace and Timpson ( Wallace & Timpson 2007 Found. Phys. 37 , 951–955. ( doi:10.1007/s10701-007-9135-7 )) have argued that certain transformations of the Heisenberg-picture description of a quantum system must be regarded as leaving invariant the factual situation being described, and that taking this into account reveals that Einstein's criterion is violated after all. Here, I vindicate the proof and explain some misconceptions that have led to this and other criticisms of it.
