A Local Realistic Reconciliation of the EPR Paradox BRYAN

Abstract

SANCTUARY, McGill University | The exact violation of Bell’s Inequalities is obtained with a local realistic model for spin. The model treats one particle that comprises a quantum ensemble and simulates the EPR data one coincidence at a time as a product state. Such a spin is represented by operators x;i y; z in its body frame rather than the usual set of X; Y ; Z in the laboratory frame. This model, assumed valid in the absence of a measuring probe, contains both quantum polarizations and coherences. Each carries half the EPR correlation, but only half can be measured using coincidence techniques. The model further predicts the lter

A local-realistic quantum mechanical model of spin and spin entanglement

Antonio Sciarretta

This paper aims at reproducing quantum mechanical (QM) spin and spin entanglement results using a realist, stochastic, and local approach, without the standard QM mathematical formulation. The concrete model proposed includes the description of Stern–Gerlach apparatuses and of Bell test experiments. Single particle trajectories are explicitly evaluated as a function of a few stochastic variables that they assumedly carry on. QM predictions are retrieved as probability distributions of similarly-prepared ensembles of particles. Notably, it is shown that the proposed model, despite being both local and realist, is able to violate the Bell–CHSH inequalities by exploiting the coincidence loophole and thus intrinsically renouncing to one of the Bell’s assumptions.

Rationalization of EPR Coincidence Experiments

B. C. Sanctuary

Coincidence experiments on EPR pairs show strong violations of Bell's Inequalities at certain filter settings which is widely believed to mean that local hidden variable models cannot explain these results. In this paper it is shown that the 'non-separable' singlet density matrix can be represented as a sum of separable density matrices which are products of individual non-hermitian spin operator states. This decomposition is consistent with the intuitive notion that after separation from the singlet the two physical systems should be described by a product state. In spite of the non-hermiticity, the values of the relevant spin observables are real. A new local hidden variable model inspired by this decomposition is discussed.

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

Stéphane Le Corre

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.

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.

Testing EPR

Jonathan A. Jones, Dieter Jaksch

Quantum physics violates the basic assumptions of local realism. Particles can be entangled with each other in ways that allow correlations stronger than possible in classical physics. This was first realized by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) in 1935 and led them to conclude that quantum theory was incomplete. It took about 30 years before J. S. Bell found observable consequences of this phenomenon by showing how entangled states violate inequalities for two-particle correlations derived purely from the assumption that the world obeys local realism. Violations of Bell inequalities were first observed experimentally in the Aspect experiment, which will be discussed below. Such experiments are technically challenging and care is needed to avoid any loopholes in the experimental setup that would still permit the description of the experiments by a local realistic theory. Bell inequalities describe violations of local realism on average, meaning that each individual experimental outcome could occur in a local realistic theory. It is the statistics of these outcomes that violates local realism. In contrast, another class of quantum states, so-called Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states, which contain three particles, can be shown to violate local realism in each measurement outcome. We will also discuss this class of states and experiments by Zeilinger's group, which demonstrated this type of violation of local realism for the first time. Our aim here is not to discuss the exact relations between quantum entanglement, non-locality and realism, and their physical and philosophical implications. While this is a highly interesting topic which attracts a lot of attention from researchers, such an exploration would go beyond the scope of this book.

EPR, Bell, and quantum locality

Robert B. Griffiths

Maudlin has claimed that no local theory can reproduce the predictions of standard quantum mechanics that violate Bell’s inequality for Bohm’s version (two spin-half particles in a singlet state) of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen problem. It is argued that, on the contrary, standard quantum mechanics itself is a counterexample to Maudlin’s claim, because it is local in the appropriate sense (measurements at one place do not influence what occurs elsewhere there) when formulated using consistent principles in place of the inconsistent appeals to “measurement” found in current textbooks. This argument sheds light on the claim of Blaylock that counterfactual definiteness is an essential ingredient in derivations of Bell’s inequality.
