A paradox in the quantum-mechanical treatment of destructive measurements on photons

JPhys Photonics
Measurements on photons are frequently cited as confirmations of predictions of quantum mechanics (QMs), in particular in the context of Bell’s theorem. In this paper we show, however, that we cannot ever claim to have measured a property of a photon if ...

Bell’s concept of local causality does not preclude Bell correlations in local realist field ontologies

Academia Quantum
Introduction: Bell’s concept of local causality assumes more than local action. It also presumes an ontology of point particles. Bell correlations are feasible in nonlinear field ontologies with quantised interactions between suitably ...

No probability loophole in the CHSH

Results in Physics, 2015
Geurdes (2014) outlines a probabilistic construction of a counterexample to Bell’s theorem. He gives a procedure to repeatedly sample from a specially constructed “pool” of local hidden variable models (depending on a table of numerically calculated ...

Is the Quantum State Real? An Extended Review of ψ-Ontology Theorems

Quanta, 2014
Towards the end of 2011, Pusey, Barrett and Rudolph derived a theorem that aimed to show that the quantum state must be ontic (a state of reality) in a broad class of realist approaches to quantum theory.

The ultimate loophole in Bell’s theorem: The inequality is identically satisfied by data sets composed of ±1′s assuming merely that they exist

Open Physics, 2017
Bell’s stated assumptions in deriving his inequality were sufficient conditions. It is shown that a far simpler condition exists for derivation of the inequality: the mere existence of finite data sets regardless of their statistical or deterministic ...

The Method of Everything vs. Experimenter Bias of Loophole-Free Bell Experiments

Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics
Experimenter bias compromises the integrity and advancement of science, especially when awarded as such. For example, the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded for the loophole-free experiments that tested physicist John S. Bell's inequality theorem. These

RELIGION AND THE THEORIES OF SCIENCE: A RESPONSE TO BARBOUR

Zygon, 1996
. This paper offers a detailed response to “Religion and the Theories of Science” in Barbour's Gifford Lectures I. Topics include: complementarity, indeterminacy, parts and wholes, and Bell's theorem in quantum theory; metaphysical issues raised by ...
