How does LHV explain quantum entanglement swapping?

[San K]

how does/would LHV (local hidden variables) theory explain the phenomena of:

1. quantum entanglement swapping (where Alice and Bob never meet, and Charlie/Victor is still able to entangle their photons)
2. two-photon interference without the photons ever meeting at the same time-space/place

2. two-photon interference without the photons ever meeting at the same time-space/place

You mean this experiment?
Can Two-Photon Interference be Considered the Interference of Two Photons?

It depends on what LHV model you have in mind:

that and other two-photon experiments

I assume that - two-photon simply means pair of entangled photons.
