Quantum Measurement, Detection and Locality 6
According to Bell’s theorem, local realism is incompatible with quantum theory. However, it depends on an implied assumption about quantum measurement. We suggest that the assumption might be removed by a complete quantum analysis of the interaction between the measured system and measuring apparatus of a Bell experiment using Born’s statistical interpretation. But it is conceivable that analys...
متن کاملQuantum Measurement, Gravitation, and Locality *
This essay argues that when measurement processes involve energies of the order of the Planck scale, the fundamental assumption of locality may no longer be a good approximation. Idealized position measurements of two distinguishable spin-0 particles are considered. The measurements alter the space-time metric in a fundamental manner governed by the commutation relations [xi pj] = ih̄ δij and th...
متن کاملReality, measurement and locality in Quantum Field Theory
It is currently believed that the local causality of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is destroyed by the measurement process. This belief is also based on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox and on the so-called Bell’s theorem, that are thought to prove the existence of a mysterious, instantaneous action between distant measurements. However, I have shown recently that the EPR argument is remo...
متن کاملQuantum statistics and locality
It is shown that two observers have mutually commuting observables if they are able to prepare in each subsector of their common state space some state exhibiting no mutual correlations. This result establishes a heretofore missing link between statistical and locality (commensurability) properties of observables in relativistic quantum physics. The analysis is based on a discussion of coincide...
متن کاملQuantum Locality
Robert Griffiths has recently addressed, within the framework of a ‘consistent quantum theory’ that he has developed, the issue of whether, as is often claimed, quantum mechanics entails a need for faster-than-light transfers of information over long distances. He argues that the putative proofs of this property that involve hidden variables include in their premises some essentially classical-...
