What exactly is the solution for principle of locality and speed of light?

In summary, Günter Nimtz, a German physicist, has claimed that photon particles can travel faster than the speed of light while quantum tunneling using virtual photons. However, this claim has been heavily criticized and it has been argued that the effect can be explained by pulse reshaping rather than actual faster-than-light movement. Furthermore, it has been observed that this reshaping effect also occurs in multi-photon experiments, but the explanation for why it occurs is still unknown. The argument that this effect has been observed by reputable institutions has also been refuted.

That's ridiculous, your claim amounts to saying the correlation rate is only a function of the angle between polarizer measurements and is independent of the polarizations of the photons themselves. Suppose the measurements are both at 0 deg and the photons are polarized at 0 deg and 90 deg. According to your claim, the correlation rate is cos^2(0) = 1, but we KNOW the correlation rate is zero -- one detector will always click and the other will never click.
If light is not polarized then why should it depend from some arbitrary angle?
But I am not speaking about single photons and as far as I understand you too are not including in your calculations anything related to single photon (if you do not use integration over all possible values then it's the whole sample you describe with vector).

Psi is in the eigenbasis of SOME operator because that's how you construct the Hilbert space.

But, if you disagree, just show me the "correct" calculations. You're not showing me any physics, zonde.

But just SOME operator will give you SOME eigenvalue but we are interested what a masurement will be in particular setup.

If all the physics for you stops at Hilbert space then we have a problem. Maybe then it's not worth to continue this discussion? Not to mention the you have sent me already couple of times to study some intro QM.
