Is there a real time ordering behind the nonlocal correlations?

Abstract

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".

Imbedding nonlocality in a relativistic chronology

Antoine Suárez

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.

Quantum entanglement with acousto-optic modulators: Two-photon beats and Bell experiments with moving beam splitters

André Stefanov, Hugo Zbinden, Nicolas Gisin +1 more

We present an experiment testing quantum correlations with frequency shifted photons. We test Bell inequality with two-photon interferometry where we replace the beam splitters with acousto-optic modulators, which are equivalent to moving beam splitters. We measure the two-photon beats induced by the frequency shifts, and we propose a cryptographic scheme in relation. Finally, setting the experiment in a relativistic configuration, we demonstrate that the quantum correlations are not only independent of the distance but also of the time ordering between the two single-photon measurements.

Quantum Correlations with Spacelike Separated Beam Splitters in Motion: Experimental Test of Multisimultaneity

André Stefanov, Hugo Zbinden, Nicolas Gisin +1 more

Multisimultaneity is a causal model of relativistic quantum physics which assigns a real time ordering to any set of events, much in the spirit of the pilot-wave picture. Contrary to standard quantum mechanics, it predicts a disappearance of the correlations in a Bell-type experiment when both analyzers are in relative motion such that each one, in its own inertial reference frame, is first to select the output of the photons. We tested this prediction using acousto-optic modulators as moving beam splitters and interferometers separated by 55 m. We did not observe any disappearance of the correlations, in agreement with quantum mechanics.
