Extended Boole - Bell inequalities applicable to quantum theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We address the basic meaning of apparent contradictions of quantum theory and probability frameworks as expressed by Bell’s inequalities. We show that these contradictions have their origin in the incomplete considerations of the premisses of the derivation of the inequalities. A careful consideration of past work, including that of Boole and Vorob’ev, has lead us to the formulation of extended Boole-Bell inequalities that are binding for both classical and quantum models. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm gedanken experiment and a macroscopic quantum coherence experiment proposed by Leggett and Garg are both shown to obey the extended Boole-Bell inequalities. These examples as well as additional discussions also provide reasons for apparent violations of these inequalities.

4 v 1 1 J un 2 00 4 George Boole and the Bell inequalities
As shown by Pitowsky, the Bell inequalities are related to certain classes of probabilistic inequalities dealt with by George Boole, back in the 1850s. Here a short presentation of this relationship is given. Consequently, the Bell inequalities can be obtained without any assumptions of physical nature, and merely through mathematical argument. The importance of the typically quantum phenomenon...

Mainstream interpretations of quantum theory maintain that violations of the Bell inequalities deny at least either realism or Einstein locality. Here we investigate the premises of the Bell-type inequalities by returning to earlier inequalities presented by Boole and the findings of Vorob’ev as related to these inequalities. These findings together with a space-time generalization of Boole’s e...
متن کاملBell-Boole Inequality: Nonlocality or Probabilistic Incompatibility of Random Variables?
The main aim of this report is to inform the quantum information community about investigations on the problem of probabilistic compatibility of a family of random variables: a possibility to realize such a family on the basis of a single probability measure (to construct a single Kolmogorov probability space). These investigations were started hundred of years ago by J. Boole (who invented Boo...

– Bell’s inequalities are a variant of Boole’s legendary consistency “conditions of possible experience.” Although they do not specifically refer to spatially separated subsystems, they apply to spatially separated particles as well. Such an interpretation appears to be immune to arguments involving time dependencies put forward recently by Hess and Philipp [1]. In the middle of the 19th centur...
