On a Proposal of Superluminal Communication (Russian Version)

Abstract

Recently, various new proposals of superluminal transmission of information have appeared in the literature. Since they make systematic resort to recent formal and practical improvements in quantum mechanics, the old theorems proving the impossibility of such a performance must be adapted to the new scenario. In this paper we consider some of the most challenging proposals of this kind and we show why they cannot work.

Recently, various new proposals of superluminal transmission of information have been suggested in the literature. Since the proposals make systematic use of recent formal and practical improvements in quantum mechanics, the old theorems proving the impossibility of such a performance must be adapted to the new scenario. In this communication, we consider some of the most challenging proposals of this kind and we show why they cannot work.

On superluminal information transmission using quantum systems

Giovanni Andrea Fantasia

Abstract. In the present work we investigate the possibility of superluminal information transmission using quantum systems. We give a general argument to prove that local actions on general entangled system are not useful at the purpose. A protocol for superluminal information transmission that makes use of a kind of observables we have discovered is proposed.

Superluminality in Quantum Theory

Giovanni Andrea Fantasia

In the present work we investigate the possibility of superluminal information transmission in quantum theory. We give simple and general arguments to prove that the general structure (Hilbert's space plus instantaneous state reduction) of the theory allows the existence of superluminal communication. We discuss how this relates with existing no-signalling theorems.

On Kalamidas' proposal of faster than light quantum communication

G. C. Ghirardi, Romano, Raffaele

In a recent paper, Kalamidas has advanced a new proposal of faster than light communication which has not yet been proved invalid. In this paper, by strictly sticking to the standard quantum formalism we prove that, as all previous proposals, it does not work.

Experiments of the EPR Type Involving CP -Violation Do not Allow Faster-than-Light Communication between Distant Observers

G. C. Ghirardi, Renata Grassi, A. Rimini +1 more

The proof that faster-than-light communication is not permitted by quantum mechanics derived some years ago by three of us is extended to cover the case of measurements which do not fit within the standard scheme based on sets of orthogonal projections. A detailed discussion of a recent proposal of superluminal transmission making resort to a CP -violating interaction is presented. It is shown that such a proposal cannot work.
