The various versions of Bell's inequality: an alternative proof

Abstract

By considering uncommon factors as spacetime events that influence the spin orientations in the EPRB thought experiment, it is intended to show that one can still introduce the correlation functions. These uncommon factors are positioned inside the common lightcone of two particles. Then, Bell inequalities are proved with the preassumptions of local realism and spin conservation law in the context of a new scenario of hidden variables.

Correlation functions, Bell's inequalities and the fundamental conservation laws

C. S. Unnikrishnan

I derive the correlation function for a general theory of two-valued spin variables that satisfy the fundamental conservation law of angular momentum. The unique theory-independent correlation function is identical to the quantum mechanical correlation function. I prove that any theory of correlations of such discrete variables satisfying the fundamental conservation law of angular momentum violates the Bell’s inequalities. Taken together with the Bell’s theorem, this result has far reaching implications. No theory satisfying Einstein locality, reality in the EPR-Bell sense, and the validity of the conservation law can be constructed. Therefore, all local hidden variable theories are incompatible with fundamental symmetries and conservation laws. Bell’s inequalities can be obeyed only by violating a conservation law. The implications for experiments on Bell’s inequalities are obvious. The result provides new insight regarding entanglement, and its measures. PACS Numbers: 03.65.Ta, 03.65.Ud The main result of this paper is the proof that a general physical theory of correlations of two-valued spin projections violate the Bell’s inequalities if the theory satisfies the conservation law for angular momentum on the average. The proof is applicable to local hidden variable theories, as well as

Analyzing Correlations for spin-1/2 particles and Singlet pairs

Charles P. Tresser

We review the computation of correlations of successive projections of the spin onto axes for spin-1/2 particles and EPRB pairs (in the Singlet state). We assume forms of Realism (at least as general as the Predictive Hidden Variables in the classical Bell's Theory), to review one particle correlations before we further assume Locality and analyze EPRB pairs. To our surprise, we find that the Abstract Bell Inequalities with three or four axes cannot have physical meaning i.e., two spin projections cannot belong to one particle or some correlations that one would need cannot be evaluated. A recent version of Bell's Theory without Locality turns out to be unaffected by our results that refocus the open issues on "realism" rather than "local realism", inviting us to leave locality alone so to speak.

The EPR-B Paradox Resolution. Bell inequalities revisited.

Jaykov Foukzon, Менькова Елена Романовна, Alexander A Potapov

Abstract One of the Bell’s assumptions in the original derivation of his inequalities was the hypothesis of locality, i.e., the absence of the influence of two remote measuring instruments on one another. That is why violations of these inequalities observed in experiments are often interpreted as a manifestation of the nonlocal nature of quantum mechanics, or a refutation of a local realism. It is well known that the Bell’s inequality was derived in its traditional form, without resorting to the hypothesis of locality and without the introduction of hidden variables, the only assumption being that the probability distributions are nonnegative. This can therefore be regarded as a rigorous proof that the hypothesis of locality and the hypothesis of existence of the hidden variables not relevant to violations of Bell’s inequalities. The physical meaning of the obtained results is examined. Physical nature of the violation of the Bell inequalities is explained under new EPR-B nonlocality postulate. We show that the correlations of the observables involved in the Bohm–Bell type experiments can be expressed as correlations of classical random variables. The revisited Bell type inequality in canonical notatons reads 〈AB〉 + 〈A’B〉 + 〈AB’〉 − 〈A’B’〉 ⩽ 6.

Bell's Inequality Loophole: Precession

Justin Lee

Justifying a local hidden variable theory requires an explanation of Bell’s in-equality violation. Ever since Bell derived the inequality to test the classical pre-diction on the correlation of two spin-12 particles, many experiments have observed the violation, and thus concluded against the local realism, while validating the non-locality of quantum entanglement. Still, many scientists remain unconvinced of quantum entanglement because the experiments have loopholes that could po-tentially allow a local realistic explanation. Upholding the local realism, this paper introduces how a precession of the spin would produce a cosine-like correlation function, and furthermore how it would also contribute to a fair sampling loophole. Simulating the precession in Monte Carlo method reveals that it can explain the observed Bell’s violation using only classical mechanics. 1

Spacetime EPRB Correlations

Bijou, Murray Smith

There are two known ways around J.S Bell's famous Inequalities. One is to deny Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle (Bell himself understood this). Another is to impose the lone spin average constraint (Samuel Hedemann discussed this in an obscure preprint). In both cases the Bell Inequality and all generalizations thereof (CHSH, CGLMP and others) cannot be derived, which implies the quantum mechanics correlations one presumes for EPR experiments, and observes, are not necessarily indications of Non-Locality (NL) or anti-Realism (AR). Nevertheless, the orthodox consensus is that our universe is still highly non-classical and EPR-like entanglement correlations are at the heart of the behaviour of non-classical elementary systems. This demands, but we can say "invites," a better account of the observed highly non-classical behaviour of entangled systems, which: (1) respects the (very respectable) lone spin average constraint, and (2) mildly disrespects Reichenbach's principle (RCC), and then (3) explains why one can take the view that either Determinism (D) or (RCC) is violated in quantum processes. We provide a preliminary such account using the principles of topological 4-geon theory (T4G) which leans towards only abandoning the weakest version of (D) possible (deterministic time-evolution) but for very good reason. NB: we have no plans to submit this to a peer review journal, but collaborators with journal access are welcome to inquire about contributing to this preprint to further a peer review process.
