Why Franson’s Experiment Violates Local Realism
It is shown that the model introduced by Cabello et al. to criticize the Franson experiment suffers from the same weakness as the previous model introduced by Aerts et al. with the same purpose. It is also shown why we can assume with confidence that the Franson experiment does violate local realism. In a recent article [1], Cabello et al. introduced a local model which violates a Bell-CHSH ine...
متن کاملEnergy-time entanglement, elements of reality, and local realism
The Franson interferometer, proposed in 1989 [J. D. Franson, Phys. Rev. Lett. 62:2205–2208 (1989)], beautifully shows the counter-intuitive nature of light. The quantum description predicts sinusoidal interference for specific outcomes of the experiment, and these predictions can be verified in experiment. In the spirit of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen it is possible to ask if the quantum-mecha...
متن کاملDependence of Entangled States and Franson - type EPR Experiments
We analyze some aspects of recently performed Franson-type experiments with entangled photon pairs aimed to test Bell's inequalities. We point out that quantum theory leads to the coincidence rate between detectors which includes in fact a dependence on the distance. We study this dependence and obtain that for large distances the correlation function vanishes. Therefore with taking into accoun...
متن کاملMacroscopic Local Realism Incompatible with Quantum Mechanics: Failure of Local Realism where Measurements give Macroscopic Uncertainties
We show that quantum mechanics predicts a contradiction with local hidden variable theories for photon number measurements which have limited resolving power, to the point of imposing an uncertainty in the photon number result which is macroscopic in absolute terms. We show how this can be interpreted as a failure of a new premise, macroscopic local realism. Bell [1] in 1966 showed that the pre...
متن کاملNew Tests of Macroscopic Local Realism using Continuous Variable Measurements
We show that quantum mechanics predicts an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox (EPR), and also a contradiction with local hidden variable theories, for photon number measurements which have limited resolving power, to the point of imposing an uncertainty in the photon number result which is macroscopic in absolute terms. We show how this can be interpreted as a failure of a new, very strong premise...
