Abstract

Abstract We consider the model of propagation of two particles created at one space point with correlated polarizations. Physical peculiarities of this process described in the framework of quantum electrodynamics are discussed in the context of quantum informatics.

Comments on the quantum correlation and entanglement

S. V. Gantsevich, V. L. Gurevich

In recent decades it was established that the quantum measurements of physical quantities in space-time points divided by space-like intervals may be correlated. Though such correlation follows from the formulas of quantum mechanics its physics so far remains unclear and there is a number of different and rather contradictory interpretations. They concern particularly the so-called Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox where the momentary action at a distance together with non-local entangled states is used for the interpretation. We assume that the quantum theory can be formulated as local and look for the consequences of this assumption. Accordingly we try to explain the correlation phenomena in a local way looking for the origin of correlation. To exclude a presupposed correlation of participating quantum particles we consider two independent particle sources and two detectors that are independent as well. We show that the origin of the correlation is the feature that the occupation number of a particle (and other its measurable quantities) is formed by a pair of complex conjugated wave functions with in general arbitrary phases. We consider this point as crucial as it provides interpretation of the observed correlation phenomena that may otherwise look puzzling. We briefly discuss a special type of noise that is typical for the quantum correlation phenomena.

Quantum Entanglement Derived from the Coulomb Field: A Stochastic Electrodynamic Description of Multi-Particle Systems

Fusao Ishii

This paper extends the stochastic electrodynamic framework of Paper 1 [3] to multiparticle systems, providing a physical derivation of quantum entanglement. When a highenergy gamma ray creates an electron-positron pair, both particles emerge from the same spacetime point and share a common electromagnetic quantum field. We propose that the electromagnetic vacuum retains a cross-correlation component S(12)E (x1, x2, ω) in their joint electromagnetic quantum field, arising from the common creation event. The spatial dependence of this cross-correlation—a sinc(ωr12/c) factor—is derived from the known two-point vacuum correlation function of the electromagnetic field, not postulated. This cross-correlation is identified as the physical carrier of quantum entanglement. The two particles undergo correlated Brownian motion in six-dimensional configuration space, each with diffusion coefficient D = ℏ/2m derived in [3]. Nelson’s stochastic mechanics in configuration space gives the two-particle Schrödinger equation. The foundational ergodicity assumption underlying Papers 1 and 2—that the coupled electron-vacuum system admits a unique stationary ergodic measure—is proved in the companion Paper 3 [5] via the Caldeira–Leggett model and the Ford–Kac–Mazur theorem. The EPR paradox is resolved: the instantaneous correlation upon measurement is a consequence of conditional probability applied to a joint stochastic process, not a physical signal. Bell inequality violations are derived explicitly: the cross-correlation is nonlocal in configuration space, bypassing Bell’s locality assumption while satisfying the no-signalling theorem. Decoherence arises naturally as disruption of S(12)E by environmental electromagnetic noise. Fermi and Bose statistics emerge as boundary conditions on the joint stochastic process in configuration space.

The state vector of a quantum system: Mathematical fiction or physical reality?

Aleksandr V. Belinsky, A. K. Zhukovskiy

A version of an experiment with a correlated pair of entangled particles is considered. This experiment demonstrates an interesting effect of variations in the entangled photon polarization that shows the reality of all of the various superposition components and the corresponding state vector of the quantum system. The possible consequences of this are analyzed.

Borromean states in discrete-time quantum walks

Marcin Markiewicz, Marcin Karczewski, Paweł Kurzyński

In the right conditions, removing one particle from a multipartite bound state can make it fall apart. This feature, known as the "Borromean property", has been recently demonstrated experimentally in Efimov states. One could expect that such peculiar behavior should be linked with the presence of strong inter-particle correlations. However, any exploration of this connection is hindered by the complexity of the physical systems exhibiting the Borromean property. To overcome this problem, we introduce a simple dynamical toy model based on a discrete-time quantum walk of many interacting particles. We show that the particles described by it need to exhibit the Greenberger-Horne-Zeillinger (GHZ) entanglement to form Borromean bound states. As this type of entanglement is very prone to particle losses, our work demonstrates an intuitive link between correlations and Borromean properties of the system. Moreover, we discuss our findings in the context of the formation of composite particles.

On Superposition and Entanglement of Polarized Photons

Eugen Muchowski

It is shown that the superposition and entanglement of polarized photons can be explained by a local realistic model without introducing a hidden parameter. The basis of the modeling is that only relations between states of photon beams are predefined and not the states themselves. The actual state before a measurement has to be selected by a polarizer.

Perfect correlations of three-particle entangled states in cavity QED

K. Wódkiewicz, Liwei Wang, Joseph H. Eberly

Compared to two-particle states, entangled states of three or four particles can lead to a much stronger test of local realism than is possible with Bell inequalities. It is the purpose of this paper to mention an exactly soluble quantum model in which entanglement of atomic states with cavity photon states leads to a perfectly correlated three-particle state. We demonstrate how to realize this model atom-field system and to create and observe such states, in the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics.
