EPR Correlations as an Angular Hanbury-Brown--Twiss Effect

Aloysius F. Kracklauer

Published Dec 24, 1998• 0 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

It is shown that EPR correlations are the angular analogue to the Hanbury-Brown--Twiss effect. As insight provided by this model, it is seen that, analysis of the EPR experiment requires conditional probabilities which do not admit the derivation of Bell inequalities.

Polarization and Coherence in the Hanbury Brown-Twiss Effect

Xianlong Liu, Gaofeng Wu, Xiaoyan Pang +2 more

We study the correlation of intensity fluctuations in random electromagnetic beams, the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect. Not just the state of coherence of the source, but also its state of polarization has a strong influence.

We show by example that correlations between intensity fluctuations at two detectors generated by two beams may be different, even if the beams have the same degree of coherence and the same degree of polarization.

Violation of Bell-type Inequality in the Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) Toy-Model: Quantum Correlations beyond Local-Realism

Sarbani Chatterjee, Arvind

The Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) effect marked a significant milestone in quantum optics by illustrating that intensity correlations can reveal inherently quantum features of light. Motivated by the structure of the original 8-mode HBT interferometer, we develop a simplified 4-mode toy-model that captures its essential physical ingredients while significantly reducing analytical complexity. Our toy-model provides an intuitive and well-structured framework for examining the desired correlation functions. We investigate whether our toy-model can exhibit genuinely non-classical behaviour by formulating and applying a Bell-type inequality tailored to its specific measurement configuration. Our analysis shows that the correlations generated by the toy-model violate the inequality, indicating the presence of non-local features that are incompatible with any classical hidden-variable description. The results highlight the power of simplified models in uncovering fundamental aspects of non-classicality in optical systems.

The local explanation of EPR correlations in the modified Quantum Mechanics

Jiří Souček

In this note we shall give the simple formulation of the local explanation of EPR correlations [1] based on [2]. We also show that Bell inequalities cannot be derived in the modified Quantum Mechanics (QM).
