Imbedding nonlocality in a relativistic chronology

Antoine Suárez

Published Aug 9, 2001• 0 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

An alternative description imbedding nonlocality in a relativistic chronology is proposed. It is argued that vindication of Quantum Mechanics in forthcoming experiments with moving beam-splitters would mean that there is no real time ordering behind the nonlocal correlations.

Is there a real time ordering behind the nonlocal correlations?

Antoine Suárez

It is argued that recent experiments with moving beam-splitters demonstrate that there is no real time ordering behind the nonlocal correlations: In Bell's world there is no "before" and "after".

Relativistic Nonlocality in experiments with successive impacts

Antoine Suárez

Relativistic Nonlocality is applied to experiments in which one of the photons impacts successively at two beam-splitters. It is discussed whether a time series with 2 non-before impacts can be produced with beam-splitters at rest, and such an experiment may allow us to decide between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Relativistic Nonlocality (RNL).

NONLOCALITY AND THE TIME-ORDERING OF EVENTS

Gerhard Grössing

A realistic solution of the "relativistic EPR dilemma" is proposed. The stated dilemma refers to the fact that a realistic account of nonlocal correlations in quantum theory as in EPR-type experiments, for example is faced with the problem of an apparently ambiguous choice for the time-ordering of events. However, if one takes into consideration Arno Bohm's concept of a "preparation time" for any quantum mechanical setup, and if one does so for all world-lines of the experimental setup, one can show that a realistic account of events is perfectly feasible. In this way, a unique and time-irreversible ordering of events is guaranteed for each reference frame.

Time and nonlocal realism: Consequences of the before-before experiment

Antoine Suárez

It is argued that recent experiments refuting nonlocal realism, can also be considered as experiments refuting time-ordered nonlocality and, hence, confirming the result of the before-before experiment. However, the before-before experiment provides a broader refutation because it also falsifies the testable relativistic version of Bohm's nonlocal model. All this stresses the interest of a new before-before experiment demonstrating together the failure of time-ordered nonlocality and the violation of the Leggett's inequality.

Nonlocality as an axiom for quantum theory

Daniel Rohrlich, Sandu Popescu

Quantum mechanics and relativistic causality together imply nonlocality: nonlocal correlations (that violate the CHSH inequality) and nonlocal equations of motion (the Aharonov-Bohm effect). Can we invert the logical order? We consider a conjecture that nonlocality and relativistic causality together imply quantum mechanics. We show that correlations preserving relativistic causality can violate the CHSH inequality more strongly than quantum correlations. Also, we describe nonlocal equations of motion, preserving relativistic causality, that do not arise in quantum mechanics. In these nonlocal equations of motion, an experimenter ``jams" nonlocal correlations between quantum systems.

Decision at the beam-splitter, or decision at detection, that is the question

Antoine Suárez

I argue that nonlocal decision of the outcomes at detection excludes any alternative theory to quantum mechanics: Not all that matters for the results of physical experiments is content in space-time, but all that is in space-time is accessible to observation.
