On Quantum Entanglement and Nonlocality

Uddin, Mafiz

EPR showed that two particles emitted from a source can be entangled by a shared wavefunction where two non-commuting observables (position, momentum) can be simultaneously real, leading to a contradiction with quantum mechanics (two non-commuting variables can not be simultaneously real). John Bell derived an inequality where any local hidden variables prediction is bounded and quantum mechanics can violate the inequality. Bell tests on correlated photon pairs showed a clear violation of the Bell inequality and agreement with quantum mechanics. This study revealed that the Bell inequality holds at any individual instances in a given system but it does not hold over the entire population. The Bell inequality is not an incompatibility criterion for local hidden variables vs quantum mechanics rather it is a criterion for an individual nature vs population dynamics. The nonlocality prediction given by wavefunction is a system approximation and local causality (photon polarization) provides a complete description of the Bell tests. The paper concludes with great satisfaction that the measurement of two correlated photons at a distance was a local cause (photon-filter interaction did not violate the special theory of relativity).

Simultaneous two-way classical communication and measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution with coherent states

Dong Pan, Soon Xin Ng, Dong Ruan +3 more

Simultaneous quantum and classical communication integrates both continuous variable quantum key distribution and classical coherent optical communication by using the same communication infrastructure. Given its compelling benefits, we proposed a protocol relying on both two-way classical communication and on measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution, in which the superposition-modulation-based coherent states depend on the information bits of both the secret key and on the classical communication ciphertext, which are measured by an untrusted relay node. The proposed scheme strikes a beneficial balance between its level of security and its grade of practicability. Explicitly, on the one hand, the secret key obtained is secure against all attacks on the detectors, and it is eminently suitable for bidirectional classical communication in the metropolitan network as a benefit of its relay-based configuration. Our results show a convincing bit error rate vs secret key rate trade-off for transmission over dozens of kilometers in the quantum channel, hence striking an excellent integrity (bit error rate) vs security trade-off.

Quantal Logic vs Classical Logic

Nagahiro Saito

Two methods for the description of physical phenomena, microscopic and macroscopic, are necessary to understand the physical world. We now have two examples. The first one is mechanical, whether classical or quantal, vs thermodynamic treatments, which are characterized by reversibility and irreversibility, respectively. Another one is quantal vs classical theories, which have different forms of logic and lead to various paradoxes in measurement processes. To understand these contradicting aspects, it should be noted that in both cases, chaos and measurement are involved inevitably, and averages over small regions of space and time for measurement are required. In this way, chaos mediates between the two methods of description. We have already made an attempt to treat the former example in terms of ergodicity. In this paper the latter example will be treated with the theory of quantum measurement and the EPR paradox in mind.
