Toy Quantum Mechanics Using Hidden Variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is used to state that no local theory assuming any kind of evolving-in-time physical field (hidden variables) can reproduce the same predictions as standard quantum mechanics. Bell formulated a corresponding theorem in [1]. An advanced variant of the theorem was proposed in [2]. Feynman, in [3], stated another but analogous idea: not any classical computational device (even when probabilistic algorithms are used) can exactly reproduce evolution of a quantum system. Here, an original model of a toy quantum particle which does not violate the theorems in [1, 2] but nevertheless has hidden variables is proposed. The reasons of that are explained at the end of the paper.

Computing Laboratory PHASE GROUPS AND LOCAL HIDDEN VARIABLES
This report extends previous work [3] in which quantum mechanics and a quantum-like theory (Spekkens’s toy bit theory [5]) were compared within the framework of symmetric monoidal categories. In this context, each quantum-like theory is naturally associated with an Abelian group, termed its phase group. Quantum mechanics and the toy bit theory exhibit different phase groups, Z4 and Z2 × Z2 resp...
متن کاملContextual qubit models from Wigner functions
Wigner functions, and other quasi-probability distributions, have been an important tool in quantum optics for a long time. A quasi-probability distribution is a representation of a quantum state with certain properties. In particular it is a real-valued representation of the state. Of particular interest are states for which a Wigner function is non-negative. Spekkens showed such sets of state...
متن کاملCan hidden variables theories meet quantum computation?
We study the relation between hidden variables theories and quantum computation. We discuss an inconsistency between a hidden variables theory and controllability of quantum computation. To derive the inconsistency, we use the maximum value of the square of an expected value. We propose a solution of the problem by using new hidden variables theory. Also we discuss an inconsistency between hidd...
متن کاملComment on “ Exclusion of time in the theorem of Bell ” by K . Hess and W . Philipp
– A recent Letter by Hess and Philipp claims that Bell's theorem neglects the possibility of time-like dependence in local hidden variables, hence is not conclusive. Moreover the authors claim that they have constructed, in an earlier paper, a local realistic model of the EPR correlations. However, they themselves have neglected the experimenter's freedom to choose settings, while on the other ...
متن کاملA simple hidden variable experiment
An experiment is described which proves, using single photons only, that the standard hidden variables assumptions (commonly used to derive Bell inequalities) are inconsistent with quantum mechanics. The analysis is very simple and transparent.
