Bell ’ s Theorem and Random Variables
نویسنده
چکیده
Bell’s theorem states that quantum correlation function of two spins can not be represented as an expectation value of two classical random variables. Spin is described in Bell’s model by a single scalar random variable. We discuss another classical model of spin in which spin is described by a triple of classical random variables. It is shown that in this model the quantum correlation function can be represented as the expectation value of classical random variables. Implications of this result to the problem of local causality of quantum mechanics and relations with problems of moments are briefly mentioned.

The Bell Theorem as a Special Case of a Theorem of Bass
The theorem of Bell states that certain results of quantum mechanics violate inequalities that are valid for objective local random variables. We show that the inequalities of Bell are special cases of theorems found ten years earlier by Bass and stated in full generality by Vorob’ev. This fact implies precise necessary and sufficient mathematical conditions for the validity of the Bell inequal...
متن کاملComment on Mermin ’ s Recent Proof of the Theorem of Bell
Mermin states in a recent paper that his nontechnical version of Bell’s theorem stands and is not invalidated by time and setting dependent instrument parameters as claimed in one of our previous papers. We identify a number of misinterpretations (of our definitions) and mathematical inconsistencies in Mermin’s paper and show that Mermin’s conclusions are therefore not valid: his proof does not...
متن کامل0 Bell ’ s Theorem and Locality in Space
Bell’s theorem states that some quantum correlations can not be represented by classical correlations of separated random variables. It has been interpreted as incompatibility of the requirement of locality with quantum mechanics. We point out that in fact the space part of the wave function was neglected in the proof of Bell’s theorem. However this space part is crucial for considerations of p...
