Quantum nonlocality or nonergodicity? A critical study of Bell’s arguments
نویسنده
چکیده
We pay attention that through Bell’s arguments one can not distinguish quantum nonlocality and nonergodicity. Therefore experimental violations of Bell’s inequality can be as well interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that stochastic processes induced by quantum measurements could be nonergodic.

EPR and Bell Locality
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. T...
متن کاملQuantum Nonlocality and Inseparability
wK = 1. A necessary condition for separability is derived and is shown to be more sensitive than Bell’s inequality for detecting quantum inseparability. Moreover, collective tests of Bell’s inequality (namely, tests that involve several composite systems simultaneously) may sometimes lead to a violation of Bell’s inequality, even if the latter is satisfied when each composite system is tested s...
متن کاملBell’s inequality for conditional probabilities as a test for quantum-like behaviour of mind
We define quantum-like probabilistic behaviour as behaviour which is impossible to describe by using the classical probability model. We discuss the conjecture that cognitive behaviour is quantum-like. There is presented the scheme for an experimental test for quantum-like cognitive behaviour based on a generalization of the famous Bell’s inequality. This generalization is an analogue of Bell’s...
متن کاملBell’s inequality: Physics meets Probability
In this review we remind the viewpoint that violation of Bell’s inequality might be interpreted not only as an evidence of the alternative – either nonlocality or “death of reality” (under the assumption the quantum mechanics is incomplete). Violation of Bell’s type inequalities is a well known sufficient condition of incompatibility of random variables – impossibility to realize them on a sing...
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...
