Hidden Variables or Hidden Theories?

چکیده
We show that a modified Relativity Principle could explain in a " classical " way the strange correlations of entangled photons. We propose a gedanken experiment with balls and boxes that predicts the same distribution of probability of the Quantum Mechanics in the case of the EPR experiment with a pair of entangled photons meeting a pair of polarizers. In the light of this gedanken experiment, we find an alternative description of the real EPR experiment postulating the existence of two observers (one for each polarizer) embedded in two locally anisotropic spacetimes. In our model there is no need to invoke quantum non separability or instantaneous action at distance.

Can hidden variables theories meet quantum computation?
We study the relation between hidden variables theories and quantum computation. We discuss an inconsistency between a hidden variables theory and controllability of quantum computation. To derive the inconsistency, we use the maximum value of the square of an expected value. We propose a solution of the problem by using new hidden variables theory. Also we discuss an inconsistency between hidd...
متن کاملMGP versus Kochen-Specker condition in hidden variables theories
Hidden variables theories for quantum mechanics are usually assumed to satisfy the KS condition. The Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem then shows that these theories are necessarily contextual. But the KS condition can be criticized from an operational viewpoint, which suggests that a weaker condition (MGP) should be adopted in place of it. This leads one to introduce a class of hidden parameters the...
متن کاملSignal-Locality in Hidden-Variables Theories
We prove that all deterministic hidden-variables theories, that reproduce quantum theory for an ‘equilibrium’ distribution of hidden variables, give instantaneous signals at the statistical level for hypothetical ‘nonequilibrium ensembles’. This generalises another property of de Broglie-Bohm theory. Assuming a certain symmetry, we derive a lower bound on the (equilibrium) fraction of outcomes ...
متن کاملA General Relativistic Generalization of Bell Inequality
In this work a general relativistic generalization of Bell inequality is suggested. Namely,it is proved that practically in any general relativistic metric there is a generalization of Bell inequality.It can be satisfied within theories of local (subluminal) hidden variables, but it cannot be satisfied in the general case within standard quantum mechanical formalism or within theories of nonloc...
متن کاملOn Hidden Variables: Value and Expectation No-go Theorems
No-go theorems assert that hidden-variable theories, subject to appropriate hypotheses, cannot reproduce the predictions of quantum theory. We examine two species of such theorems, value no-go theorems and expectation no-go theorems. The former assert that hidden-variables cannot match the predictions of quantum theory about the possible values resulting from measurements; the latter assert tha...
متن کاملContradiction of Quantum Mechanics with Local Hidden Variables for Continuous Variable Quadrature Phase Amplitude Measurements
We demonstrate a contradiction of quantum mechanics with local hidden variable theories for continuous variable quadrature phase amplitude (“position” and “momentum”) measurements, by way of a violation of a Bell inequality. 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 ...
