Quantum measurement in a family of hidden–variable theories
The measurement process for hidden–configuration formulations of quantum mechanics is analysed. It is shown how a satisfactory description of quantum measurement can be given in this framework. The unified treatment of hidden–configuration theories, including Bohmian mechanics and Nelson’s stochastic mechanics, helps in understanding the true reasons why the problem of quantum measurement can s...
متن کاملHidden variable theories and quantum nonlocality
We clarify the meaning of Bell’s theorem and its implications for the construction of hidden variable theories by considering an example system consisting of two entangled spin-1/2 particles. Using this example, we present a simplified version of Bell’s theorem and describe several hidden variable theories that agree with the predictions of quantum mechanics. These example theories clarify some...
متن کاملOn the Status of Hidden Variable Theories in Quantum Mechanics
1. Quantum theory vs. hidden variables It takes time for new paradigms to be generally digested and become known. It also takes time to change some of the old paradigms once they have been used for some time. So one has become accustomed to the conclusion , although deeply disturbing, that no hidden variable models can be introduced into quantum theory, i.e., there is a limit to our knowledge. ...
متن کاملSymmetric extensions of quantum States and local hidden variable theories.
While all bipartite pure entangled states violate some Bell inequality, the relationship between entanglement and nonlocality for mixed quantum states is not well understood. We introduce a simple and efficient algorithmic approach for the problem of constructing local hidden variable theories for quantum states. The method is based on constructing a so-called symmetric quasiextension of the qu...
متن کاملNonlocal Hidden-Variable Theories and Quantum Mechanics: An Incompatibility Theorem
It is argued that among possible nonlocal hidden-variable theories a particular class (called here ‘‘crypto-nonlocal’’ or CN) is relatively plausible on physical grounds. CN theories have the property that (for example) the two photons emitted in an atomic cascade process are indistinguishable in their individual statistical properties from photons emitted singly, and that in the latter case th...
