Position-momentum local realism violation of the Hardy type
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that it is, in principle, possible to perform local realism violating experiments of the Hardy type in which only position and momentum measurements are made on two particles emanating from a common source. In the optical domain, homodyne detection of the in-phase and out-of-phase amplitude components of an electromagnetic field is analogous to position and momentum measurement. Hence, local realism violations of the Hardy type are possible in optical systems employing only homodyne detection.

By applying Hardy's argument, we demonstrate the violation of local realism in a gedanken experiment using independent and separated particle sources.
متن کاملJa n 20 04 Hardy ’ s nonlocality for generalized n - particle GHZ states
In this paper we extend Hardy’s nonlocality proof for two spin-1/2 particles [L. Hardy, Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1665 (1993)] to the case of n spin-1/2 particles configured in the generalized GHZ state. We show that, for all n ≥ 3, any entangled GHZ state (including a maximally entangled one) does exhibit Hardy’s nonlocality. It turns out that the maximal amount of violation of the Bell inequality ...

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 ...
متن کاملThe mystery of the quantum cakes
As one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics ~QM!, and thus of modern science, it is a bit unfortunate that the concept of entanglement is so difficult to grasp, even for physicists, and even more difficult to convey to the nonphysicist. Described by Schrödinger as that aspect of quantum mechanics ‘‘that enforces its entire departure from classical lines of thought,’’ 1 entangled states are ...
