Experimental Test of Local Hidden-Variable Theories

We have measured the linear polarization correlation between the two photons from the 7 S~-6 P~-6 So cascade of Hg . The results were used to evaluate Freedman's version of the Bell inequality, 5 ~0. Our result is 6~+=+0.046+0.014, in clear violation of the inequality and in excellent agreement with the quantum mechanical prediction, 6Q+ =+ 0.044 +0.007. An important feature of the experiment w...

Hidden Variables or Hidden Theories?

We show that a modified Relativity Principle could explain in a " classical " way the strange correlations of entangled photons. We propose a gedanken experiment with balls and boxes that predicts the same distribution of probability of the Quantum Mechanics in the case of the EPR experiment with a pair of entangled photons meeting a pair of polarizers. In the light of this gedanken experiment,...

Matrix models as non-local hidden variables theories

It is shown that the matrix models which give non-perturbative definitions of string and M theory may be interpreted as non-local hidden variables theories in which the quantum observables are the eigenvalues of the matrices while their entries are the non-local hidden variables. This is shown by studying the bosonic matrix model at finite temperature, with T taken to scale as 1/N . For large N...

Can hidden variables theories meet quantum computation?

We study the relation between hidden variables theories and quantum computation. We discuss an inconsistency between a hidden variables theory and controllability of quantum computation. To derive the inconsistency, we use the maximum value of the square of an expected value. We propose a solution of the problem by using new hidden variables theory. Also we discuss an inconsistency between hidd...
