An entangled web of crime: Bell’s theorem as a short story

Kurt Jacobs, Howard M. Wiseman

Nonlocality of the type first elucidated by Bell in 1964 is a difficult concept to explain to nonspecialists and undergraduates. We attempt to do so by showing how nonlocality can be used to solve a problem in which someone might find themselves as the result of a series of normal, even if somewhat unlikely, events. Our story is told in the style of a Sherlock Holmes mystery, and is based on Mermin’s formulation of the “paradoxical” illustration of quantum nonlocality discovered by Greenberger, Horne, and Zeilinger.

An Entangled Web of Crime: Bell's Theorem as a Short Story

Jacobs, K, Howard M. Wiseman

Non-locality of the type first elucidated by Bell in 1964 is a difficult concept to explain to non-specialists and undergraduates. Here we attempt this by showing how such non-locality can be used to solve a problem in which someone might find themselves as the result of a collection of normal, even if somewhat unlikely, events. Our story is told in the style of a Sherlock Holmes mystery, and is based on Mermin's formulation of the "paradoxical" illustration of quantum non-locality discovered by Greenberger, Horne and Zeilinger.
