Here are my thoughts on the paradoxal experiment where information
seems to travel at infinite speed between two photons correlated at
their origin.
In this experiment, two photons with correlated k-vectors (through
momentum conservation) and polarization (through the relative angle of
the two transition dipole moments) are detected through polarizers at
opposing positions in a two arm experiment.
On each arm there is a polarizer and two detectors.
Since it is a common view that the polarization of a photon is not
known until a measurement is performed, the detection of a photon on
either detector of the each arm can only be correlated if information
passes to the other photon at the speed of light...:) This is the
paradox.
I proposed the simple solution to this experiment. Let's consider the
thougth experiment where the emiting molecule/atom has two eyeball...
each one looking in the direction of one arm. They have perfect albeit
polarized line of sight of each detector.
The detectors have resonances in the frequencies of the emiting
photons, otherwise they couldn't detect the photons...:)
Since they have resonances, they have zero point fluctuations/Black
Body radiation and thus they will produce "vacuum noise" on the
direction of the excited molecule/atom.
The constraints on k-vector imposed by this experiment, the high
selectivity of outcome (the experiment selects only photons at a very
small spherical angle) makes the probability of decay through dephasing
of the initial coherence by this background field a certainty.
Thus although the electrons don't know their polarization until they
arrive at the polarizers, they source knows everything and that solves
the paradox.
Please read the following blog and let me know your opinion.http://hypergeometricaluniverse.blogspot.com/2006/09/gods-most-amazing-parlor-magic-trick.html
