The Scattering and Disappearance of Entangled Photons in a Homogeneous Dielectric Medium

Abstract

The quantum Rayleigh spontaneous emission replaces entangled photons with independent ones in homogeneous dielectric media where single photons cannot propagate in a straight line. The correlation functions for photon coincidence are generalized.

The Non-existence of Quantum Non-locality Based on Photonic Propagation

Andre Vatarescu

As soon as pairs of down-converted frequency photons are generated in a nonlinear crystal, the photons interact, individually, with the linear susceptibility formed by the electric dipoles in any dielectric medium. As a result, the quantum Rayleigh conversion of photons absorbs one photon and emits spontaneously another photon in a random direction and with a random state of polarization.

Photonic Entanglement Is Counter-Productive

Andre Vatarescu

The original Bell inequalities were derived with four terms of channel-to-channel correlations of paired photons but are violated with sixteen terms of channel-to-channel correlations. The same correlation function can be derived for non-entangled photons as it was for entangled ones. The correlation probability for independent photons and qubits exceeds that of the entangled photons. Entanglement reduces the detection probability of the first measurement to 1/2 but does not affect the second photon’s maximal probability of detection. For one channel-to-one channel correlation, the quantum probability of entangled photons can be factorized, which should enable a local determination of a quantum nonlocal effect. A single photon is scattered by the quantum Rayleigh scattering making it impossible to synchronize the detections of an original pair of photons. All experimental results can be explained by means of the intrinsic field of photons as confirmed by independently published experimental results involving independent photons.

The Quantum Regime Operation of Beam Splitters and Interference Filters

Andre Vatarescu

The quantum Rayleigh spontaneous emission replaces entangled photons with independent ones in homogeneous dielectric media where single photons cannot propagate in a straight line. Single and independent groups of photons, described by the original bare states of Jaynes-Cummings model, deliver the correct expectation values for the number of photons carried by a photonic wavefront, its complex optical field, and phase quadratures. The intrinsic longitudinal field profile associated with a photonic wavefront is derived for any instantaneous number of photons. These photonic properties enable a step-by-step analysis of various beam splitters and interferometric filters. As a result, generalized expressions are derived for the correlation functions characterizing counting of coincident numbers of photons for fourth-order interference, whether classical or quantum optical, without entangled photons.

Instantaneous Quantum Description of Photonic Wavefronts and Applications

Andre Vatarescu

Three physical elements are missing from the conventional formalism of quantum photonics: 1) the quantum Rayleigh spontaneous and stimulated emissions; 2) the unavoidable parametric amplification; and 3) the mixed time-frequency spectral structure of a photonic field which specifies its duration or spatial extent. As a single photon enters a dielectric medium, the quantum Rayleigh scattering prevents it from propagating in a straight-line, thereby destroying any possible entanglement. A pure dynamic and coherent state composed of two consecutive number states, delivers the correct expectation values for the number of photons carried by a photonic wave front, its complex optical field, and phase quadratures. The intrinsic longitudinal and lateral field profiles associated with a group of photons for any instantaneous number of photons are independent of the source. These photonic properties enable a step-by-step analysis of the correlation functions characterizing counting of coincident numbers of photons or intensities with unity visibility interference, spanning the classical and quantum optic regimes
