Event-based simulation of quantum physics experiments

Kristel F. L. Michielsen, Hans A. De Raedt

We review an event-based simulation approach which reproduces the statistical distributions of wave theory not by requiring the knowledge of the solution of the wave equation of the whole system but by generating detection events one-by-one according to an unknown distribution. We illustrate its applicability to various single photon and single neutron interferometry experiments and to two Bell-test experiments, a single-photon Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen experiment employing post-selection for photon pair identification and a single-neutron Bell test interferometry experiment with nearly 100% detection efficiency.

Optical Tests of Foundations of Quantum Theory

Yanhua H. Shih

In the early 1950’s, Bohm simplified the 1935 EPR state from continuous coordinate-momentum space to discrete spin space by introducing a singlet state of two spin 1/2 particles. A more practical example of the EPR-Bohm state concerns the polarization states of photon pairs, such as the spin-zero state of a high energy photon pair disintegrated from the annihilation of positronium. Is it possible to have a realistic theory which provides correct predictions of the behavior of a particle similar to quantum theory and, at the same time, respects the description of physical reality by EPR as “complete”? Bohm and his followers have attempted a “hidden variable theory” to formulate the physical reality into the wavefunction of a particle or a pair of particles. The experimental testing of Bell’s inequality started from the early 1970’s. Most of the historical experiments concluded the violation of the Bell’s inequalities and thus disproved the local hidden variable theory.

Quantum State of Entangled Photon Pairs

Ruo Peng Wang

I show that the photon pairs used in experimental tests of quantum non-locality based on Bell's theorem are not in the entangled quantum state. The correct quantum state of the ``entangled'' photon pairs is suggested. Two experiments for testing this quantum state are proposed.
