Conclusion of the Aspect paradigmatic experiment is based on a statistical flaw

Abstract

The case presented refers to the Aspect entangled spin in photon pairs experiment. In the paper it is demonstrated that the conclusion of the experiment is based on a statistical flaw.

On Aspect’s Bell Inequality Experiment

Justo Pastor Lambare

In this short note, we explain the untenability of a recent claim in the technical literature purportedly proving that Aspect’s experiment testing the Bell inequality is based on a statistical flaw.

Torment to paper“Aspect's experiment and the interpretation of quantum mechanics”

Hui Shen

Many problems in Bohm's idea-experiment,in Bell's inequality,and in Aspect's experiment are expound.The conclusion is that,Aspect's experiment has nothing to do with EPR idea-experiment.

Bad statistics & bad philosophy

Han J.F. Geurdes

Recently, Carlo Rovelli wrote an essay about bad philosophy hampering the progress of physics [1]. That, of course, can be true. Nevertheless, my letter will present a definite proof that bad statistics hampers that progress as well. Here we show that erroneous statistical underpinnings of a key experiment to demonstrate the absence of Einstein data in the empirical reality, disallows a serious conclusion from an experiment. The experiment [2] is paradigmatic for a whole array of similar experiments. We mention e.g. Weihs et al [3]. The presentation of the flaw is done without much reference to random variables and detailed probability violations. It is based on an integral expression to make it easier for not statistically schooled readers who are interested in philosophy of physics. It is however statistical methodology of experiments in foundational physics. The derived result implies that Einstein data may still exist in the empirical reality. The general context of this result is not only philosophical or foundational. It affects quantum technology as well. Quantum security, more in particular entanglement based quantum key distribution, may not be safe at all when Einsteinian variables exist and can be manipulated.

Einsteinian local hidden variables explanation of photon pair entanglement

Han J.F. Geurdes

Aspect's experimental proof of non-locality in entanglement is demonstrated to be statistically flawed.Therefore, it is still a valid question if Bell's correlation formula or its reasonable modifications equivalents allow Einstein hidden variables. It is found that Einsteinian locality and causality can explain the entanglement correlation given locality maintaining influence of probability densities is introduced.

REMOVED DUE TO POLICY VIOLATIONS

Han J.F. Geurdes

Recently it was demonstrated that the famous experiment of Aspect et al employed a flawed statistical methodology.This result refuted the demonstration of nonlocality as the sole explanation of entanglement.Therefore, there is still room for an Einsteinian local extra parameter explanation of entanglement of photons.In this paper we ask the question what kind of extra local hidden parameter explanation of entanglement would fit Einstein's ideas.We study a primitive clock with 12 o'clock ∝ "spin up" and 6 o'clock ∝ "spin down" as a local extra parameter.The Relativisitc Doppler Effect (RDE) is subsequently supposed to represent the entanglement of two photons "carrying" the clocks.This relativistic representation of entanglement can be applied to the study of quantum key distribution (QKD).When there is no nonlocal connectivity between the measurements at respectively Alice's and at Bob's spin measurement instrument, a desynchronisation of a clock in one arm will not be noted in the other arm of the experiment.
