A local hidden variable model of quantum correlation exploiting the detection loophole
نویسنده
چکیده
A local hidden variable model exploiting the detection loophole to reproduce exactly the quantum correlation of the singlet state is presented. The model is shown to be compatible with both the CHSH and the CH Bell inequalities. Moreover, it bears the same rotational symmetry as spins. The reason why the model can reproduce the quantum correlation without violating the Bell theorem is that in the model the efficiency of the detectors depends on the local hidden variable. On average the detector efficiency is limited to 75%.

متن کاملNecessary and sufficient detection efficiency for the mermin inequalities.
We prove that the threshold detection efficiency for a loophole-free Bell experiment using an n-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state and the correlations appearing in the n-partite Mermin inequality is n/(2n-2). If the detection efficiency is equal to or lower than this value, there are local hidden variable models that can simulate all the quantum predictions. If the detection efficiency is...
متن کاملExperimental tests of hidden variable theories from dBB to Stochastic Electrodynamics
The studies concerning the possible existence of a deterministic theory, of which quantum mechanics would be an approximation, date to the celebrated 1935 Einstein-PodolskyRosen paper. Since Bells proposal of 1964 various experiments were addressed to a general experimental test of local hidden variable theories, leading to strong indications favourable to Standard Quantum Mechanics. Neverthele...
متن کاملContradiction of Quantum Mechanics with Local Hidden Variables for Quadrature Phase Amplitude Measurements
We demonstrate a contradiction of quantum mechanics with local hidden variable theories for continuous quadrature phase amplitude (“position” and “momentum”) measurements. For any quantum state, this contradiction is lost for situations where the quadrature phase amplitude results are always macroscopically distinct. We show that for optical realizations of this experiment, where one uses homod...

It has long been known that the “detection” or “fair sampling” loophole could open the way for alternative “local realist” explanations for the violation of Bell tests. It is usual, though, to assume fair sampling, so that the loophole can be ignored. We describe a model, along the same lines as Pearle’s of 1970 but considerably simpler, to illustrate intuitively why this may not be justified. ...
