Simultaneity in wavepacket reduction

Arthur Jabs

Published Jun 11, 2015• 1 citation
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

It is conjectured that the effects of reduction, which occur with the individual wavepackets in a system of two separated though entangled packets, occur simultaneously in the center frame (properly defined) of the entangled packets. Existing experiments are compatible with this type of nonlocality. Further experimental tests are suggested.

Entanglement and reduction in two-photon correlations

Arthur Jabs

For a number of basic experiments on two-photon intensity correlations, it is pointed out that the results, which are usually explained in terms of the formalism of canonical field quantization, can also be explained in terms of quantum wavepackets, where reduction and entanglement are taken into account.

On EPR Paradox, No Entanglement Theorem for Separate Particles and Consequences

V. K. Igatovich

EPR paper contains an error. Its correction leads to a conclusion that position and momentum of a particle can be defined precisely simultaneously, EPR paradox does not exist and uncertainty relations have nothing to do with quantum mechanics. Logic of the EPR paper shows that entangled states of separated particles do not exist and therefore there are no nonlocality in quantum mechanics. Bell's inequalities are never violated, and results of experiments, proving their violation, are shown to be false. Experiments to prove absence of nonlocality are proposed where Bell's inequalities are replaced by precise prediction. Interpretation of quantum mechanics in terms of classical field theory is suggested. Censorship against this paper is demonstrated.

Decoherence and reduction

Roland L. Omnes

A reduction mechanism resulting directly from the basic principles of quantum mechanics is proposed, inseparably from decoherence. A rather consistent theory of this effect is given and the next problems it raises are indicated.

Electromagnetically induced transparency in an open V-type molecular system

Angelos Lazoudis, Teodora Kirova, Ergin H. Ahmed +3 more

We report the experimental observation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in an inhomogeneously broadened V-type Na${}_{2}$ molecular system. The experiment is performed with both co- and counterpropagating arrangements for the propagation directions of the coupling and probe laser beams. In our theoretical model we employ the density matrix formalism, as well as perturbative methods for obtaining the probe field absorption profile for both open and closed systems. Simulations of the experimental data show excellent agreement with the predictions derived from the basic theory. Our fluorescent intensity measurements show that, in the copropagating configuration, the EIT plus saturation window depth is about $95%$, while under similar conditions in the counterpropagating geometry we observed $40%$--$45%$ reduction in the fluorescence signal around the line center. To separate the two simultaneously occurring mechanisms in a V-type system (i.e., EIT and saturation) that are induced by the coupling field, we have carried out theoretical calculations which show that, in the copropagating case, a significant fraction of the depth of the dip is due to the coherent effect of EIT. When the coupling and probe beams are in the counterpropagating configuration, the dip is mostly due to saturation effects alone.

REMOTE MICROMECHANICAL ENTANGLEMENT AND THE THEORY OF OBJECTIVITY

Vidamor Cabannas

Ralf Riedinger and collaborators’ 2018 experiment, “Remote Quantum Entanglement between Two Micromechanical Oscillators,” represents an important development in experimental quantum optomechanics because it demonstrates entanglement between engineered mechanical systems located on separate silicon chips. The devices were physically separated by approximately 20 cm and connected through an optical inter- ferometric architecture with an optical path of approximately 70 m. Mechanical modes centered around 5.1 GHz were interfaced with photons near the telecommunications wavelength of 1553.8 nm. A heralding protocol based on Stokes scattering created a delocalized single-phonon excitation, while an anti-Stokes read pulse converted the mechanical excitation back into the optical domain for measurement. The reported symmetric mechanical entanglement witness, Rm,sym = 0.74+0.08 −0.05, lies below the separability bound R = 1, leading the authors to report entanglement with confidence exceeding 99.8 percent (Riedinger et al. 2018). This article develops an expanded critical–propositional examination of that experiment in systematic dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity (TO), as developed by Vidamor Cabannas and Denivaldo Silva from 2016 through 2026. The analysis distinguishes three epistemic levels that must not be conflated: modal necessity, empirical corroboration, and analogical compatibility. In the TO, the Absolute Truths are intended to occupy a modal-ontological level: their truth, if successfully demonstrated, would not depend upon contingent experimental confirmation. Experiments nevertheless remain indispensable for testing whether operational consequences associated with those axioms are instantiated in physical phenomena. Particular attention is given to Absolute Truth One, according to which prior to the emergence of the universe there was Nothing, although this Nothing is not absolute non-being but an eternal logical and mathematical essence; Absolute Truth Two, according to which every existent element possesses a field proper and exclusive to itself that individualizes it; and Absolute Truth Five, according to which an element must be observed by, or lie within the frequency relation of, at least two other elements in order to acquire logical existence, with “observation” referring to physical relations among elements rather than human consciousness. The remaining Absolute Truths are also examined insofar as they concern infinity, boundaries, composition, and the transcendent informational element. The Riedinger experiment does not test primordial Nothingness, infinity, the cosmogonic theorem, or the cosmological eras of the TO directly. Nor does it experi- mentally establish that every element has an exclusive magnetic field, or that logical existence universally requires two observing elements. It does, however, establish a highly relevant empirical domain in which physical individuality, relational state forma- tion, loss of which-path information, optical mediation, mechanical storage, conversion between photons and phonons, and nonseparable correlations occur in a controlled system. Especially significant for the TO is the fact that the relevant physical pro- cesses require no human observer: interactions among resonators, optical modes, beam splitters, detectors, and radiation are sufficient to prepare, transform, and reveal the state. The analysis therefore concludes that Riedinger et al. provide neither a proof nor a direct confirmation of the Theory of Objectivity as a whole. They do, however, offer a strong empirical bridge to operational consequences compatible with the TO’s relational and informational ontology. The experiment is particularly fertile for the TO’s treatment of Absolute Truth Five and of the transcendent element understood as knowledge or information generated in atomic relations and associated with radiation. The article proposes a series of more discriminating future tests intended to separate broad quantum-mechanical relationality from distinctive empirical consequences that would have to follow specifically from the TO. Keywords: Theory of Objectivity; quantum entanglement; micromechanical oscillator; optomechanics; modal ontology; information; radiation; phonon; photon; nonseparabil- ity; Absolute Truths; empirical testability.
