Bell inequality Definition and 29 Threads

Hi. I can calculate the expectation values in the Bell (or in this case, CHSH) inequality and show that they violate it for entangled particles. But I'm confused about how to calculate them for an actual sequence of measurements, which could look like this ("Paar" is for photon pair): How do...

Starting from this link my understanding of Bell inequality proof goes as follows: Suppose we have a model of local pre-determinate hidden variables for QM. This amounts to say QM objects are in pre-determinate given states even if we do not measure it. Locality just means that spacelike...

The reason for highlighting this paper is to highlight (and exemplify by how different researcher think about this) a new "perspective" to understanding the different between "ignorance of the physicists" which is reallly what Bell assumptions imples. And "ignorance of they players", which is...

Was trying to understand the inequality test. The only article ever that I've found that explains it simply is the 1981 article, Bringing home the atomic world: Quantum Mysteries For Anybody. All other explanations require trust and understanding of polarisation, which is a huge deal. So i now...

I just read an article in Quantum Magazine about "unitary" results and how this is tied to looking at the reversibility of quantum events. It provided an easy-to-understand mechanism for tracking the effects of adding information to a fictional universe. The example they gave for detecting a...

Qutools makes quantum physics kits for educational purposes. Its quED kit is designed to help students learn about entanglement by performing Bell tests. In the manual section 5.1 it describes "the simplest test to verify entanglement of photon pairs." My question is if the entangled photons...

see https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10773-020-04666-z I think that contextuality is just another word for incompatibility. I asked may people: Point out to the dry-residue of contextuality, filtered of incompatibility. All these bright people were not able to say anything sensible on...

This is the first video from Växjö2018 conference, from the special session devoted to the final loophole free experiments on violation of Bell's inequality; videos of other speakers can be found at my webpage, https://lnu.se/en/staff/andrei.khrennikov/ [films from Växjö conferences]

Quantum entanglement does not imply that you can send information faster than the speed of light since you cannot manipulate what your sending. You don't know what you have until you have measured it. But you do know that you have the corresponding photon at the other location in space no matter...

EDIT: I realize now that I have fundamentally misunderstood a crucial aspect of deriving the Bell inequality for this case which is the existence of the third axis. The setup of the problem did state that the axes were chosen at random. Therefore I can't just look at the possibility of choosing...

Everything I've seen about Bell's inequality has had the setup of 120 degree angles between the axis of measurements. The experiment then proves that the basic hidden variable theory can't be true. But the actual measurement has always been told to me as a 0.5 correlation. 50% of the time the...

Bell inequality in page 171 of https://www.scientificamerican.com/media/pdf/197911_0158.pdf is ##n[A^+B^+] \le n[A^+C^+]+n[B^+C^+]## In page 174 we can see that this causes linear dependency according to angle. How to derive this? Let us suppose that angle between ##A^+## and ##B^+## is 30°...

I am not sure if I am allowed to ask this, but here's my shot: I find all the explanations of Bell's theorem summed up here, very different in interpretation and also (for me) incomprehensible. I have these simple questions: How does the Bell inequality, stated as N(A, not B) + N(B, not C) ≥...

There is a recent article (Optics July 2015) claiming violation of Bell inequalities for classical fields: "Shifting the quantum-classical boundary: theory and experiment for statistically classical optical fields" https://www.osapublishing.org/optica/abstract.cfm?URI=optica-2-7-611...

A great new experiment is reported closing simultaneously the loopholes of detection (fair sampling assumption) and distance (locality assumption): Experimental loophole-free violation of a Bell inequality using entangled electron spins separated by 1.3 km B. Hensen, H. Bernien, A.E. Dréau, A...

https://www.osapublishing.org/optica/fulltext.cfm?uri=optica-2-7-611&id=321243 "In our experimental test, we used light whose statistical behavior (field second-order statistics) is indistinguishable from classical, viz., the light from a broadband laser diode operating below threshold. Our...

I went through a paper last week about the Bell inequality and how it is incompatible with QM. Something along the lines of probability in classical regards being 1/3 but in quantum mechanics it is 1/4. It went into some basic principles of how this is determined through quantum entanglement to...

Are there any modern interpretations of QM that predict the correlations in a Bell Inequality violation ? Preferably a local non realistic model based on mechanisms.

This form of a Bell inequality: n[x-y+] + n[y-z-] ≥ n[x+z+] is derived from spin measurements at A and B when detector settings are aligned. If it is correct that when a particle is measured at detector A and is spin up in the y direction , then its entangled twin at B is in superposition...

I imagine that some topics and questions keep reappearing since it is hard to track through all past posts even with the query tool. So apologies if this has been covered before (as it probably has). I just want to check my intuitive understanding of the Bell experiment, having heard an...

Lately I was studying the Bell and CHSH inequalities on Wikipedia (it has proven to be a good source to get an quick idea about everything). The articles are detailed and even provide the core of the proof in a mathematical derivation that is easy to understand. But it leaves me still with a...

I am confused by the role of photon polarisation in Bell inequality experiments. The original logic of EPR as I understand it is based on the HUP such that QM predicts that measurement of momentum on one particle should affect the measurement of position of the other particle. Yet across...

Hi, I was reading Heinz Pagels' description of the nail gun experiment in the chapter about "Bell's Inequality" from his book, The Cosmic Code: Quantum Physics as the Langauge of Nature, 1982, pp. 160-176. He describes the record of hits and misses after "turning polarizer A clockwise by...

Does the Bell inequality confirms the quantum mechanics? If answer is yes, why the violation of Bell inequality is more famous?

1. Are there any tests done actually show Bell inequality is NOT violated? 2. What are the different kinds of things the Bell inequality experiment test? I know most tests are testing spins of electrons, what are the other Bell tests, what they test?

So first off, Ill admit I've forgotten most of the finer details of the bell inequality so I apologize if I've gotten something wrong. From how I remember it, the bell inequality is a test of any local hidden variable theory vs. QM. It uses the fact that the inequality measured if a classical...

When a photon's spin is measured, the photon must exert a force on the device that measures its spin.Since a force is associated with an acceleration and an acceleration with gravity,could the photon have created a gravity wave that travels through space and determines the spin of a second...

Just as the thermal equilibrium between two relatively receding (c<v<2c) cosmological horizons is justified by inflation, such a Higgs phase transition could account locally for correlations violating the Bell inequality through superluminal (c<v<2c) "signaling."
