Ladder proof of nonlocality without inequalities and without probabilities
نویسنده
چکیده
The ladder proof of nonlocality without inequalities for two spin-12 particles proposed by Hardy [1] and Hardy et al. [2] works only for nonmaximally entangled states and goes through for 50% of pairs at the most. A similar ladder proof for two spin-1 particles in a maximally entangled state is presented. In its simplest form, the proof goes through for 17% of pairs. An extended version works for 100% of pairs. The proof can be extended to any maximally entangled state of two spin-s particles (with s ≥ 1). PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz ∗Electronic address: [email protected]

متن کاملLadder Proof of Nonlocality for Two Spin-half Particles Revisited
In this paper we extend the ladder proof of nonlocality without inequalities for two spin-half particles given by Boschi et al (Boschi D et al 1997 Phys. Rev. Lett. 79 2755) to the case in which the measurement settings of the apparatus measuring one of the particles are different from the measurement settings of the apparatus measuring the other particle. It is shown that, in any case, the pro...

متن کاملIi. Nonlocality without Inequalities for Hardy States
Hardy’s proof of “nonlocality without inequalities” [1] provides the simplest demonstration of Bell’s theorem [2] that there is no local realistic theory reproducing all predictions of quantum mechanics. Curiously, while the maximum violation of Bell inequalities occurs for maximally entangled states [3], Hardy’s proof does not go through for maximally entangled states. Recently, Wu, Xie, Huang...
متن کاملProbabilistic Bell’s Theorem
A probabilistic Bell’s theorem on a Bell basis is presented by using local hidden variable theories. It not only has a similar logical structure to Bell’s proof of the original Bell’s theorem with inequalities, but also allows us to derive an experimentally testable probabilistic equality, which is violated by quantum mechanics in 50%. Our proof is not only simple mathematically but also can be...
