Realistic Simulations of EPR Experiments: Nonlinear Concept for New Principle of Non-Locality and for Realistic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

This paper demonstrates the capability to simulate EPR experiments in a realistic way (i.e.without transmission of information between the source and the detector) and confirms even more the Bell's theorem, by demonstrating that effectively non-local variables are required to violate the Bell's inequality.Unlike all EPR experiments, this modeling instead of simply noting the inadequacy of a local modeling proposes a new way of non-local idealization.These simulations work on spreadsheet by idealizing objects with a non-linear notion, the extended object.This allows to set up a new principle of locality (or non-locality) and a new meaning on the loopholes of EPR experiments.It sheds new light on several concepts of Quantum Mechanics (QM): the quantum states (would represent an equivalence class of many different indistinguishable objects seen as equivalent in terms of measurement), the wave function (would represent a probability on this equivalence class seen as a single set despite different probabilities of happening for the individual objects composing this equivalence class), the measurement (in our simulation, the measured object is not modified), the superposition of states (in our simulation, Schrödinger's cat is never both dead and alive).These simulations lead to several kinds of EPR experiments with violations of the Bell's inequalities with values different from the QM, allow to realize entanglements with more than 2 objects (whatever the number of Alice and Bob) or even with more than 2 results (beyond the only "+1" or "-1" outputs).Many questions remain to be explored in the physics domain on quantum phenomena (teleportation, encryption, quantum computing, etc.), but this theoretical approach also reveals the necessity of developing new non-linear tools in mathematics domain and seems to show that QM could finally be a limit case of a more fundamental nonlinear physics theory founded on these How to cite this paper: Le Corre, S.

These simulations lead to several kinds of EPR experiments with violations of the Bell’s inequalities with values different from the QM, allow to realize entanglements with more than 2 objects (whatever the number of Alice and Bob) or even with more than 2 results (beyond the only “+1” or “-1” outputs). Many questions remain to be explored in the physics domain on quantum phenomena (teleportation, encryption, quantum computing, etc.…), but this theoretical approach also reveals the necessity of developing new non-linear tools in mathematics domain and seems to show that QM could finally be a limit case of a more fundamental nonlinear physics theory founded on these extended objects. This observation is strangely reminiscent of developments such as string theory.

Locality and quantum mechanics

It is argued that it is best not to think of quantum mechanics as non-local, but rather that it is non-realistic.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Foundations of quantum mechanics and their impact on contemporary society'.

Intuitive and versatile software for real-world quantum sensors

Jan-Niclas Kirsten-Siemß, Stefan J. Seckmeyer, Gabriel Müller +3 more

Numerous real-world applications, such as in civil engineering, inertial navigation, and Earth Observation, have demonstrated the utility of quantum sensing with atom interferometers. Today, the biggest challenge to broader market adoption of these sensors is the in-depth knowledge of quantum mechanics required by both the manufacturers and users of these devices. We aim to make the design, construction, and operation of atom interferometers more intuitive using software that incorporates our years of experience in atom interferometry simulation. Here, we provide an overview over our simulation capabilities. Our versatile numerical toolbox enables efficient simulation of atomic test masses interacting with realistic electromagnetic, gravitational and optical forces, as well as prediction of sensor performance in realistic deployment scenarios, e.g., on air, land, and water vehicles.
