Hidden Variables and Commutativity in Quantum Mechanics
This paper takes up a suggestion that the reason we cannot find hidden variable theories for quantum mechanics, as in Bell’s Theorem, is that we require them to assign joint probability distributions on incompatible observables; these joint distributions are empirically meaningless on one standard interpretation of quantum mechanics. Some have proposed to get around this problem by using genera...
متن کاملToy Quantum Mechanics Using Hidden Variables
It is used to state that no local theory assuming any kind of evolving-in-time physical field (hidden variables) can reproduce the same predictions as standard quantum mechanics. Bell formulated a corresponding theorem in [1]. An advanced variant of the theorem was proposed in [2]. Feynman, in [3], stated another but analogous idea: not any classical computational device (even when probabilisti...
متن کاملRobust Constraint Satisfaction and Local Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics
Motivated by considerations in quantum mechanics, we introduce the class of robust constraint satisfaction problems in which the question is whether every partial assignment of a certain length can be extended to a solution, provided the partial assignment does not violate any of the constraints of the given instance. We explore the complexity of specific robust colorability and robust satisfia...
متن کاملLocality and Causality in Hidden Variables Models of Quantum Theory
Motivated by Popescu’s example of hidden nonlocality, we elaborate on the conjecture that quantum states that are intuitively nonlocal, i.e., entangled, do not admit a local causal hidden variables model. We exhibit quantum states which either (i) are nontrivial counterexamples to this conjecture or (ii) possess a new kind of more deeply hidden irreducible nonlocality. Moreover, we propose a no...
متن کاملSimulating Quantum Mechanics by Non-Contextual Hidden Variables
Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, Silver Street, Cambridge CB3 9EW, U.K. (9th August, 1999; revised 10th February, 2000) No physical measurement can be performed with infinite precision. This leaves a loophole in the standard no-go arguments against non-contextual hidden variables. All such arguments rely on choosing special sets of quantum-mech...
