Ilja, the experiment contradicts "collapse" interpretations of QM which are supposed to be equivalent to Bohmian mechanics. I agree with you that Bohmian mechanics is compatible with non-locality, but the experiment shows that the wavefunction of QM is also non-sequential and thus non-causal...

Dear Group, since I always try to speak honestly, I feel that I should mention that Professor Eberly's discovery of the sudden death of quantum entanglement could place an important restraint not just upon quantum computation but also upon Conway and Kochen's recent mathematical physics...

Hi, you might also be interested to know that Professor Eberley recently discovered that quantum entanglement can suddenly die: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/01/quantumloss/

Ilja, the experiment shows that the wavefunction in QM is non-sequential and non-causal. By definition, Bohmian mechanics is a causal interpretation. Please see: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-bohm/

Hi, this paper by S. Dolev and A.C. Elitzur shows that the results of their experiment are not compatible with a "collapse" (or "wave guide" interpretation of QM such as Bohmian mechanics) on pages 3-4: http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0102109 Additionally, this paper by G. Castagnoli et al. also...

I forgot to mention that Conway's recent lectures on the Free Will Theorem for the public are now available online: http://www.princeton.edu/WebMedia/flash/lectures/2009_03_04_conway_free_will.shtml Also, I agree with DrChinese that we should not argue on the base of reputation. For example, I...

Demystifier, the very brief second physics paper I cited is not compatible with Bohmian mechanics, as the two authors say. Dr.Chinese, I will think about your two questions and see if I come up with anything.

Fredrik, you obviously have not even looked at any of the three physics papers I have cited. The first paper shows that "free will" is the opposite of determinism or randomness. The second paper shows that the wavefunction of QM transcends ordinary concepts of causality, probability, space and...

Dear Group, This new paper by two famous Princeton mathematicians named J.H. Conway and S. Kochen examines a particular case in quantum mechanics (QM) and then proves a new theorem which shows that if humans can be said to have "free will" then so do elementary physical particles. They...
