EPR and Bell Locality
نویسنده
چکیده
A new formulation of the EPR argument is presented, one which uses John Bell’s mathematically precise local causality condition in place of the looser locality assumption which was used in the original EPR paper and on which Niels Bohr seems to have based his objection to the EPR argument. The new formulation of EPR bears a striking resemblance to Bell’s derivation of his famous inequalities. The relation between these two arguments – in particular, the role of EPR as part one of Bell’s two-part argument for nonlocality – is also discussed in detail.

Classical counterexample to Bell ’ s theorem
We describe a strictly classical dice game, which emulates the main features of the EPR experiment, including violation of Bell’s inequalities. Therefore, the standard interpretation that Bell’s theorem provides necessary conditions for ‘local realism’ is disproved. PACS 03.65.Ud (Entanglement and quantum non locality)
متن کاملOn “ Bell ’ s inequality without alternative settings ”
Cabello has recently (in quant-ph/0210081) observed that " ...an EPR-experiment with a fixed POVM on each particle provides a violation of Bell's inequality without requiring local observers to choose between the alternatives. " In this note I discuss the implications of this observation for tests of locality.
متن کاملBell Locality and the Nonlocal Character of Nature
It is demonstrated that hidden variables of a certain type follow logically from a certain local causality requirement (“Bell Locality”) and the empirically well-supported predictions of quantum theory for the standard EPR-Bell setup. The demonstrated hidden variables are precisely those needed for the derivation of the Bell Inequalities. We thus refute the widespread view that empirical violat...

A pair of B 0 ¯ B 0 mesons from Υ(4S) decay exhibit EPR type non-local particle-antiparticle (flavor) correlation. It is possible to write down Bell Inequality (in the CHSH form: S ≤ 2) to test the non-locality assumption of EPR. Using semileptonic B 0 decays of Υ(4S) at Belle experiment, a clear violation of Bell Inequality in particle-antiparticle correlation is observed: S = 2.725 ± 0.167sta...
متن کاملBreakdown of Bell’s Theorem for incompatible measurements
Bell’s theorem contains the proposition that the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) theory (hypothesis) of the existence of elements of reality together with Einstein locality permits a mathematical description of EPR experiments by functions that are all defined on one common probability space. This proposition leads in turn to restrictions for possible experimental outcomes that Bell expressed in ...
