Proposal to observe the nonlocality of Bohmian trajectories with entangled photons.

چکیده
Bohmian mechanics reproduces all statistical predictions of quantum mechanics, which ensures that entanglement cannot be used for superluminal signaling. However, individual Bohmian particles can experience superluminal influences. We propose to illustrate this point using a double double-slit setup with path-entangled photons. The Bohmian velocity field for one of the photons can be measured using a recently demonstrated weak-measurement technique. The found velocities strongly depend on the value of a phase shift that is applied to the other photon, potentially at spacelike separation.

Experimental nonlocal and surreal Bohmian trajectories.
Weak measurement allows one to empirically determine a set of average trajectories for an ensemble of quantum particles. However, when two particles are entangled, the trajectories of the first particle can depend nonlocally on the position of the second particle. Moreover, the theory describing these trajectories, called Bohmian mechanics, predicts trajectories that were at first deemed "surre...
متن کاملAll-versus-nothing violation of local realism for two entangled photons.
It is shown that the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger theorem can be generalized to the case with only two entangled particles. The reasoning makes use of two photons which are maximally entangled both in polarization and in spatial degrees of freedom. In contrast to Cabello's argument of "all versus nothing" nonlocality with four photons [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 010403 (2001)]], our proposal to test t...
متن کاملAspects of nonlocality from a quantum trajectory perspective: A WKB approach to Bohmian mechanics
Abstract Nonlocality is a property of paramount importance both conceptually and computationally exhibited by quantum systems, which has no classical counterpart. Conceptually, it is important because it implies that the evolving system has information on what happens at any space point and time. Computationally, because such a knowledge makes any calculation intractable as the number of degree...

Although charged leptons, contrary to neutrinos, cannot oscillate, exploring whether a coherent superposition of charged lepton states can change to others during the propagation is an important problem in the neutrino oscillation theory. In this paper, we consider electrons and muons coming from the pions and W decays and study their propagation in relativistic Bohmian quantum mechanics. We f...
متن کاملComment on “Experimental Nonlocality Proof of Quantum Teleportation and Entanglement Swapping”
In a recent letter, Jennewein et al. [1] reported an experiment demonstrating entanglement swapping among two pairs (0,1 and 2,3) of down-converted photons. They accomplished this by performing a Bell measurement on photons 1 and 2, and they verified the effect with regular polarization measurements on photons 0 and 3. By selecting data from runs in which 1,2 are measured to be in the Bell stat...
