Experimental Test of Local Hidden-Variable Theories
We have measured the linear polarization correlation between the two photons from the 7 S~-6 P~-6 So cascade of Hg . The results were used to evaluate Freedman's version of the Bell inequality, 5 ~0. Our result is 6~+=+0.046+0.014, in clear violation of the inequality and in excellent agreement with the quantum mechanical prediction, 6Q+ =+ 0.044 +0.007. An important feature of the experiment w...
متن کاملNon-Locality and Classical Communication of the Hidden Variable Theories
In all local realistic theories worked out till now, locality is considered as a basic assumption. Most people in the field consider the inconsistency between local realistic theories and quantum mechanics to be a result of non-local nature of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we derive Bell’s inequality for particles with instantaneous interactions, and show that the aforementioned contradicti...
متن کاملSymmetric extensions of quantum States and local hidden variable theories.
While all bipartite pure entangled states violate some Bell inequality, the relationship between entanglement and nonlocality for mixed quantum states is not well understood. We introduce a simple and efficient algorithmic approach for the problem of constructing local hidden variable theories for quantum states. The method is based on constructing a so-called symmetric quasiextension of the qu...
متن کاملMatrix models as non-local hidden variables theories
It is shown that the matrix models which give non-perturbative definitions of string and M theory may be interpreted as non-local hidden variables theories in which the quantum observables are the eigenvalues of the matrices while their entries are the non-local hidden variables. This is shown by studying the bosonic matrix model at finite temperature, with T taken to scale as 1/N . For large N...
متن کاملHidden variable theories and quantum nonlocality
We clarify the meaning of Bell’s theorem and its implications for the construction of hidden variable theories by considering an example system consisting of two entangled spin-1/2 particles. Using this example, we present a simplified version of Bell’s theorem and describe several hidden variable theories that agree with the predictions of quantum mechanics. These example theories clarify some...
