Abstract

In the first part of the paper we reach an experimental final confirmation that mental states follow quantum mechanics. In the second part further experimentation indicates that in mind states Bell inequality violation is possible.

A Preliminary Experimental Verification On the Possibility of Bell Inequality Violation in Mental States

Elio Conte, Andrei Yu. Khrennikov, Orlando Todarello +2 more

For the first time we perform an experiment to test the possibility of Bell's inequality violation in mental states, during perception-cognition in humans. We study under a theoretical and experimental framework, a Bell-type test for human perception-cognition of ambiguous figures. It is performed a detailed analysis which demonstrates that, although we have not yet been able to violate Bell's inequality in the present performed experiment, there are strong theoretical arguments supporting our expectation to violate it by a simple articulation of the same experiment. In this framework we introduce for the first time what we retain to represent quantum cognitive observables. We consider that our analysis provides a solid ground for further investigations on quantum behaviour of cognitive systems. Therefore we reaffirm that quantum mechanics is a Giano Bifronte theory (two-faced Giano, a mythological God of the past), looking from one hand to physical reality and from the other hand to the sphere of mental reality and cognitive dynamics.

On the cognitive experiments to test quantum-like behaviour of mind

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

We describe cognitive experiments (based on interference of probabilities for mental observables) that could verify quantum-like structure of mental measurements. In principle, such experiments could be performed in psychology, cognitive and social sciences.

Loophole-free Bell inequality violation experiments verifying the realism and locality principles

Stéphane Le Corre

The aim of this study is to produce a simulation of EPR experiments violating the CHSH-Bell inequalities using physically interpretable objects (properties defined before measurement) and interactions (no supraliminal communication), without influence from any theory. It turns out that the proposed model systematically violates the CHSH-Bell inequalities reaching all the values ( 2 ≤ S ≤ 4 ) . Our simulation reproduces experimental entanglements with greater efficiency. This approach has at least two consequences. First, it demonstrates that violations of the CHSH-Bell inequalities are possible while still verifying the principles of realism and locality, but in a different sense from that of Bell’s theorem. Therefore, Bell’s theorem itself is not called into question, nor are the results of the EPR experiments. However, it is the deduction that leads to the current interpretation (often described as strange because it does not follow one of the principles of realism and locality as defined by Bell’s theorem) that is challenged. Second, it challenges real-world EPR experiments to exceed the efficiency rates of our simulation. Our idealization demonstrates that, between the efficiency rates required to confirm the violation of Bell’s inequalities and the efficiency rates of our idealization, the interpretation of experiments remains possible within a framework of “classical” physical principles (properties defined before measurement and no supraliminal communication). Confirming the strangeness of quantum mechanics would therefore require obtaining efficiency rates higher than those of Bell’s theorem.

An explicit statistical model for the Bell experiment

David H. Oaknin

Solid experimental evidence has now been obtained that confirms the violation of Bell's inequality in tests of maximally entangled qubit pairs. This violation is widely interpreted as definitive proof of the impossibility of describing quantum phenomena in terms of locally defined elements of reality. In a series of recent papers, we have noticed, however, that this conclusion inadvertently, yet crucially, relies on the assumed existence of an absolute frame of reference, with respect to which it would be possible to describe independently of each other the hypothetical elements of reality and the measurement devices that test them. Otherwise, a non-zero geometric phase may appear in the description of the former with respect to a closed sequence of settings of the latter, leading to the violation of the inequality. Following this observation, we discuss an explicit statistical model, which fully reproduces the predictions of Quantum Mechanics for the Bell experiment.
