Abstract
The experimental violation of Bell's Theorem in quantum systems is generally taken as proof of the impossibility of local hidden variable theories, as would provide a rational dynamical underpinning for quantum mechanics. We here present a platform for executing Bell tests in pilot-wave hydrodynamics, a system known to capture many features of the quantum realm. We execute a static test in a bipartite tunneling system, and rationalize the emergent violations in terms of the wave-mediated coupling between the two subsystems.
