Proietti 2019 experiment: Doubt in measuring A1(B1)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion revolves around the Proietti 2019 experiment, specifically addressing the measurement choices of Alice and Bob regarding A0(B0) and A1(B1). The participants highlight the implications of non-destructive measurements and the role of Bell state measurements in determining entanglement. It is established that without a Bell state measurement, Alice and Bob can infer their friend's measurement due to the information carried by photons alfa and beta. However, confusion arises regarding the outcomes of Bell state measurements and their implications for entanglement.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum entanglement
  • Familiarity with Bell state measurements
  • Knowledge of photon behavior in quantum mechanics
  • Basic comprehension of non-destructive measurement techniques
NEXT STEPS

TL;DR
Why measuring a and alfa with a bell state measurement means establishing Alice's own facts.
Hi everyone! Sorry for the bad english!

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.05080

I guess I understood the experiment until the moment Alice and Bob chooses to measure A0(B0) or A1(B1).

I guess it's kind of straightforward that without a bell state measurement with photon alfa(beta) and photon a(b), Alice and Bob can know what her(his) friend measured, since alfa (beta) is carrying the message from the non destructive measurement made by the friend...

But why if Alice or Bob does a bell state measurement with photon alfa(beta) and photon a(b) the outcome will be that the friend is in an entangled state? It doesn't make much sense to me...

Thanks!
