About the description of physical reality of Bells experiment


الملخص بالإنكليزية

A hidden variables model complying with the simplest form of Local Realism was recently introduced, which reproduces Quantum Mechanics predictions for an even ideally perfect Bells experiment. This is possible thanks to the use of a non-Boolean vector hidden variable. Yet, that model is as far as Quantum Mechanics from the goal of providing a complete description of physical reality in the EPR-sense. Such complete description includes the capacity to calculate, from the values taken by the hidden variables, the time values when particles are detected. This can be achieved by replacing Borns rule (which allow calculating only probabilities) with a deterministic condition for particle detection. The simplest choice is a threshold condition on the hidden variables. However, in order to test this choice, a new type of quantum (or wave, or non-Boolean) computer is necessary. This new type of quantum computer does not exist yet, not even in theory. In this paper, a classical (Boolean) computer code is presented which mimics the operation of that new type of quantum computer by using contextual instructions. These instructions take into account a consequence of the principle of superposition (which is a typical vector, i.e. non-Boolean, feature). Numerical results generated by the mimicking code are analyzed. They illustrate the features the hypothetical new type of quantum computers output may have, and show how and why some intuitive assumptions about Bells experiment fail.
