On the EPR Paradox and Dirac Equation in Euclidean Relativity

Published Nov 1, 2017• 0 citations

Abstract

Recent experimental results have shown a violation of Bell’s inequalities, which are a mathematical formulation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox. The violation leads to the conclusion that there are no local hidden variable theories that underlie quantum mechanics. However, the Bell’s inequalities do not rule out the possibility to construct non-local hidden variable theories that comply with quantum mechanics, in particular, a theory of special and general relativity that permits an instantaneous transmission of interaction. In this work we show that a special relativity with a Euclidean metric that allows not only local interactions but also interactions that can be transmitted instantaneously can be constructed and, furthermore, such special relativity can also be generalised to formulate a general theory of relativity that leads to the same experimental results as Einstein theory of general relativity. We also show that it is possible to formulate Dirac-like relativistic wave equations in this Euclidean relativity with either real mass or imaginary mass, which suggests that the proper mass of a quantum particle may be defined in terms of a differential operator that is associated with a spacetime substructure of the particle.

ON EPR PARADOX AND MATTERWAVE IN EUCLIDEAN RELATIVITY

Vu B Ho

: In our previous works, we showed that the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox could be resolved by constructing a Euclidean relativity that not only leads to the same results obtained from Einstein general relativity but also permits an instantaneous transmission of interaction. However, there still remains the question about the nature of these physical fields and their mathematical formulations if they exist. In this work we show that it is possible to formulate Euclidean relativistic field equations similar Dirac equation from a general system of linear first order partial differential equation. Since the speeds of the Euclidean relativistic fields have no upper values, they can be used to rectify the quantum entanglement in quantum mechanics.

The EPR paradox, Bell’s inequality, and the question of locality

Guy Blaylock

Most physicists agree that the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen–Bell paradox exemplifies much of the strange behavior of quantum mechanics, but argument persists about what assumptions underlie the paradox. To clarify what the debate is about, we employ a simple and well-known thought experiment involving two correlated photons to help us focus on the logical assumptions needed to construct the EPR and Bell arguments. The view presented in this paper is that the minimal assumptions behind Bell’s inequality are locality and counterfactual definiteness but not scientific realism, determinism, or hidden variables as are often suggested. We further examine the resulting constraints on physical theory with an illustration from the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics—an interpretation that we argue is deterministic, local, and realist but that nonetheless violates the Bell inequality.

Bell's inequality and 'ghost-like action-at-a-distance' in quantum mechanics

R. D. Mattuck

The phenomenon of nonlocality in quantum mechanics is one of its most fundamental features and is most strikingly exemplified in the discussion of the Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) type of experiment. The generality of Bell's inequality and the results of experiments done up to now show that local hidden-variable theories are ruled out as a means to resolve the famous EPR paradox. What remains for further consideration are the nonlocal and the Einstein-separable hidden-variable models. Finally, an alternative and possibly successful approach in trying to 'explain' nonlocality might involve ideas of backward causation.

EPR Paradox and Local Hidden Variable Theories

K.A. Siddiqui A. Raza

After a brief summary of mathematical formalism of quantum theory and double slit experiment, the famous Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox has been described. Bell’s inequalities have been derived and tests has been discussed. It is concluded that local hidden variable theories are wrong.

The EPR Paradox in the Spacetime-Quantum Unified-Field Theory: Entanglement as Global Coherence of a Discrete Spacetime Substrate

Wendi Xiao

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox challenges the completeness of quantum mechanics under the assumptions of separability and locality, while Bell's theorem and its loophole-free experimental confirmations rule out local hidden variables and establish that entangled correlations are nonlocal yet no-signaling. This paper formulates, within the spacetime-quantum unified-field theory, a self-contained resolution of the paradox. Starting from the six axioms of the theory, we model the entangled pair as two local excitations of the single global spacetime-quantum field, a coherent superposition of discrete spacetime quanta (Axiom 1). We show that the EPR elements of reality are not attributes of the separated subsystems but properties of the global coherent configuration established within the common past light cone, so that EPR's tacit separability premise fails in this ontology (Axioms 1 and 5). Measurement is identified as a strictly local energy exchange (Axioms 2 and 5) whose influence propagates at most at the speed of light by the local hyperbolic master equation (Axiom 3), and we prove, by the invariance of the reduced density matrix, that no signaling is possible. The Bell correlations are reproduced as a consistency condition inherited from the standard-model sector (Axiom 4), with the Tsirelson bound 2√2 following from the no-signaling structure. Complete derivations of the correlation function, the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality and its violation, the no-signaling theorem, the local measurement model, and the coherence-entanglement relation are provided in the appendices.

Spin-1 photons, spin-1/2 electrons, Bell's inequalities, and Feynman's special perspective on quantum mechanics

Masud Mansuripur

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox that argues for the incompleteness of quantum mechanics as a description of physical reality has been put to rest by John Bell’s famous theorem, which inspired numerous experimental tests and brought about further affirmations of quantum reality. Nevertheless, in his writings and public presentations, Richard Feynman never acknowledged the significance of Bell’s contribution to the resolution of the EPR paradox. In this paper, we discuss several variants of the Bell inequalities (including one that was specifically espoused by Feynman), and explore the ways in which they demolish the arguments in favor of local hidden-variable theories. We also examine the roots of Feynman’s attitude toward Bell’s theorem in the context of Feynman’s special perspective on quantum mechanics.
