Event-by-Event Simulation of Franson-Type Bell Experiments

Marcus Richter, Hans A. De Raedt, Kristel F. L. Michielsen

Abstract. Franson-Type Bell experiments have been proposed to demonstrate the violation of local realism in quantum theory based on a violation of the Bell Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality. We demonstrate that the original experiment constructed by Franson [1] as well as its modification by Cabello et al. [2] can be simulated on an event-by-event basis using causal, local, and event-based processes without solving the Schrödinger equation or using concepts such as wave fields or particle-wave duality. In our approach networks of locally connected processing units with a primitive learning capability are used which exhibit behaviour that is usually only attributed to quantum systems. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the components of the network and the physical devices in the experimental setup. Furthermore, only simple geometry is used to construct the simulation algorithm. In this sense, the simulation approach we propose satisfies

Stochastic Einstein Locality Revisited

Jeremy Butterfield

I discuss various formulations of stochastic Einstein locality (SEL), which is a version of the idea of relativistic causality, that is, the idea that influences propagate at most as fast as light. SEL is similar to Reichenbach's Principle of the Common Cause (PCC), and Bell's Local Causality.My main aim is to discuss formulations of SEL for a fixed background spacetime. I previously argued that SEL is violated by the outcome dependence shown by Bell correlations, both in quantum mechanics and in quantum field theory. Here I reassess those verdicts in the light of some recent literature which argues that outcome dependence does not violate the PCC. I argue that the verdicts about SEL still stand.Finally, I briefly discuss how to formulate relativistic causality if there is no fixed background spacetime. 1. Introduction2.
