Can Hidden Variables Theories Meet Quantum Computation?

Koji Nagata, Tadao Nakamura

We study the relation between hidden variables theories and quantum computation.We discuss an inconsistency between a hidden variables theory and controllability of quantum computation.To derive the inconsistency, we use the maximum value of the square of an expected value.We propose a solution of the problem by using new hidden variables theory.Also we discuss an inconsistency between hidden variables theories and the double-slit experiment as the most basic experiment in quantum mechanics.This experiment can be an easy detector to Pauli observable.We cannot accept hidden variables theories to simulate the double-slit experiment in a specific case.Hidden variables theories may not depicture quantum detector.This is a quantum measurement theoretical profound problem.

Stern-Gerlach Experiment, Quantum Phase Factor, and Hidden-Variables Theories

Koji Nagata, Tadao Nakamura

We discuss whether the Stern-Gerlach experiment accepts hidden-variables theories. We discuss that the existence of two spin-1/2 pure states $|\uparrow\rangle$ and $|\downarrow\rangle$ rules out the existence of probability space of specific quantum measurement. If we detect $|\uparrow\rangle$, then measurement outcome is $+1$. If we detect $|\downarrow\rangle$, then measurement outcome is $-1$. This hidden-variables theory does not accept the transition probability $|\langle\uparrow|\downarrow\rangle|^2=0$. Therefore we have to give up the hidden-variables theory. This implies the Stern-Gerlach experiment cannot accept the specific hidden-variables theory. And we study whether quantum phase factor accepts hidden-variables theories. We use the transition probability for two spin-1/2 pure states $(|\uparrow\rangle+|\downarrow\rangle)/\sqrt{2}$ and $(|\uparrow\rangle+e^{i \theta}|\downarrow\rangle)/\sqrt{2}$. It is $\cos^2(\theta/2)$. We discuss that the phase factor does not accept another specific hidden-variables theory. We explore the phase factor is indeed a quantum effect, not classical. Our research gives a new insight to the quantum information processing which relies on quantum phase factor, such as Deutsch's algorithm.

Restrictions on Nonlocal Hidden-Variable Theory

J. H. McGuire, Edward S. Fry

In a recent experiment, Freedman and Clauser have found that Bell's inequality for local hidden-variable theories is violated by over six standard deviations. We derive an inequality similar to Bell's for nonlocal hidden-variable theories in which the hidden-variable density distribution of the particles measured is nonlocal, but where the detectors are contained within some finite volume. The measurement of Freedman and Clauser is used to put a lower limit on the nonlocality of the hidden-variable density distributions of the photons detected in their experiment.

We discuss whether the Stern-Gerlach experiment accepts hidden-variables theories. We discuss that the existence of two spin-1/2 pure states ∣↑⟩|\uparrow\rangle∣↑⟩ and ∣↓⟩|\downarrow\rangle∣↓⟩ rules out the existence of probability space of specific quantum measurement. If we detect ∣↑⟩|\uparrow\rangle∣↑⟩, then measurement outcome is +1+1+1. If we detect ∣↓⟩|\downarrow\rangle∣↓⟩, then measurement outcome is −1-1−1. This hidden-variables theory does not accept the transition probability ∣⟨↑∣↓⟩∣2=0|\langle\uparrow|\downarrow\rangle|^2=0∣⟨↑∣↓⟩∣2=0. Therefore we have to give up the hidden-variables theory. This implies the Stern-Gerlach experiment cannot accept the specific hidden-variables theory. And we study whether quantum phase factor accepts hidden-variables theories. We use the transition probability for two spin-1/2 pure states (∣↑⟩+∣↓⟩)/2(|\uparrow\rangle+|\downarrow\rangle)/\sqrt{2}(∣↑⟩+∣↓⟩)/2​ and (∣↑⟩+eiθ∣↓⟩)/2(|\uparrow\rangle+e^{i \theta}|\downarrow\rangle)/\sqrt{2}(∣↑⟩+eiθ∣↓⟩)/2​. It is cos⁡2(θ/2)\cos^2(\theta/2)cos2(θ/2). We discuss that the phase factor does not accept another specific hidden-variables theory. We explore the phase factor is indeed a quantum effect, not classical. Our research gives a new insight to the quantum information processing which relies on quantum phase factor, such as Deutsch's algorithm.
