Event-by-Event Simulation of Quantum Phenomena: Application to Einstein-Podolosky-Rosen-Bohm Experiments

Event-by-Event Simulation of Quantum Phenomena

Recent advances in nanotechnology are paving the way to attain control over individual microscopic objects. The ability to prepare, manipulate, couple and measure single microscopic systems facilitate the study of single quantum systems at the level of individual events. Such experiments address the most fundamental aspects of quantum theory. Indeed, quantum theory gives us only a recipe to com...

Computer Simulation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm Experiments

Deterministic event-based simulation of quantum phenomena

We propose and analyse simple deterministic algorithms that can be used to construct machines that have primitive learning capabilities. We demonstrate that locally connected networks of these machines can be used to perform blind classification on an event-by-event basis, without storing the information of the individual events. We also demonstrate that properly designed networks of these mach...

Quantum mechanical probabilities and general probabilistic constraints for Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen–Bohm experiments

Relativistic causality, namely, the impossibility of signaling at superluminal speeds, restricts the kinds of correlations which can occur between different parts of a composite physical system. Here we establish the basic restrictions which relativistic causality imposes on the joint probabilities involved in an experiment of the Einstein-PodolskyRosen-Bohm type. Quantum mechanics, on the othe...

A computer program to simulate Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm experiments with photons

Starting from the data gathering and analysis procedures used in Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen–Bohm experiments with photons, we construct a simulation algorithm that satisfies Einstein’s criteria of local causality and realism and generates the same type of data as recorded in these idealized experiments. The simulation data is analyzed according to the experimental procedure to count coincidences, ...
