Proposed Macroscopic Test of the Physical Relevance of Bell’s Theorem

چکیده

A macroscopic experiment capable of detecting a signature of spinorial sign changes is discussed. If realized, it would determine whether Bell inequalities are satisfied for a manifestly local, classical system. By providing an explicitly local-realistic derivation of the EPR-Bohm type spin correlations, it is demonstrated why Bell inequalities must be violated even in such a manifestly local, macroscopic domain, just as strongly as they are in the microscopic domain. The proposed experiment has the potential to transform our understanding of the relationship between classical and quantum physics.

Can Bell’s Prescription for Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

An experiment is proposed to test Bell’s theorem in a purely macroscopic domain. If realized, it would determine whether Bell inequalities are satisfied for a manifestly local, classical system. It is stressed why the inequalities should not be presumed to hold for such a macroscopic system without actual experimental evidence. In particular, by providing a purely classical, topological explana...

Locality and Bell's Inequality

WARNING This is a revised version with respect to the one submitted on Mon, 3 Jul 2000. By mistake an earlier version and not the final one was submitted. Abstract We prove that the locality condition is irrelevant to Bell in equality. We check that the real origin of the Bell’s inequality is the assumption of applicability of classical (Kolmogorovian) probability theory to quantum mechanics. W...

Entanglement Zoo II: Examples in Physics and Cognition

We have recently presented a general scheme enabling quantum modeling of different types of situations that violate Bell’s inequalities [1]. In this paper, we specify this scheme for a combination of two concepts. We work out a quantum Hilbert space model where ‘entangled measurements’ occur in addition to the expected ‘entanglement between the component concepts’, or ‘state entanglement’. We e...

On the physical meaning of the EPR–chameleon experiment

The physical meaning of the EPR–chameleon experiment proposed in [1, 2], in which the EPR correlations are reproduced by local, independent, deterministic choices is reexamined. In addition we extend the mathematical model of [1, 2] by showing that the dynamics considered there is effectively the reduced dynamics of a fully reversible evolution. We also propose a new protocol, more directly cor...

Statistics, Causality and Bell’s theorem

Bell’s (1964) theorem is popularly supposed to establish the non-locality of quantum physics as a mathematical-physical theory. Building from this, observed violation of Bell’s inequality in experiments such as that of Aspect and coworkers (1982) is popularly supposed to provide empirical proof of non-locality in the real world. This paper reviews recent work on Bell’s theorem, linking it to is...
