Hardy - type experiment for the maximally entangled state : Illustrating the problem of subensemble postselection 1
نویسنده
چکیده
By selecting a certain subensemble of joint detection events in a two-particle interferometer arrangement, a formal nonlocality contradiction of the Hardy type is derived for an ensemble of particle pairs configured in the maximally entangled state. It is argued, however, that the class of experiments exhibiting this kind of contradiction does not rule out the assumption of local realism.

Ja 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 ...

Bell’s theorem [1] states that one cannot in general reproduce the results of quantum theory with a classical, deterministic local model. Hardy’s argument of “nonlocality without inequalities” [2] is considered “the best version of Bell’s theorem” [3]. Curiously enough, while in the original proof of Bell’s theorem using inequalities the maximum discrepancy with local models occurs for maximall...
متن کاملLadder proof of nonlocality without inequalities and without probabilities
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 f...
