PROPER AND IMPROPER SEPARABILITY

Christopher G. Timpson, Harvey R. Brown

The distinction between proper and improper mixtures is a staple of the discussion of foundational questions in quantum mechanics. Here we note an analogous distinction in the context of the theory of entanglement. The terminology of "proper" versus "improper" separability is proposed to mark the distinction.

SUCCESSIVE POLARIZATION MEASUREMENTS ON AM IMPROPER MIXTURE

Mark Lewis. Richardson, John P. Clauser

We have performed two successive linear polarization measurements on the improper mixture of photons resulting from the 7 1 So -+ 6 3 P 1 ' transition of Hg 202 • Improper mixtures are important in measurement theory, and we speculate that a basic difference in the time evolution of proper and improper mixtures might resolve some of the difficulties in this field.Our experimental data are in agreement with the quantum mechanical prediction that no such difference exists.
