We present a theoretical model which allows to keep track of all photons in an interferometer. The model is implemented in a numerical scheme, and we simulate photon interference measurements on one, two, four, and eight slits. Measurements are simulated for the high intensity regime, where we show that our simulations describe all experimental results so far. With a slightly modified concept we can also model interference experiments in the low intensity regime, these experiments have recently been performed with single molecules. Finally, we predict the result of polarization measurements, which allow to check the model experimentally.

We simulate correlation measurements of entangled photons numerically. The model employed is strictly local. In our model correlations arise from a phase, connecting the electromagnetic fields of the two photons at their separate points of measuremen
t. We sum up coincidences for each pair individually and model the operation of a polarizer beam splitter numerically. The results thus obtained differ substantially from the classical results. In addition, we analyze the effects of decoherence and non-ideal beam splitters. It is shown that under realistic experimental conditions the Bell inequalities are violated by more than 30 standard deviations.
Newtonian physics is describes macro-objects sufficiently well, however it does not describe microobjects. A model of Extended Mechanics for Quantum Theory is based on an axiomatic generalization of Newtonian classical laws to arbitrary reference fra
mes postulating the description of body dynamics by differential equations with higher derivatives of coordinates with respect to time but not only of second order ones and follows from Mach principle. In that case the Lagrangian $L(t,q,dot{q},ddot{q},...,dot {q}^{(n)},...)$ depends on higher derivatives of coordinates with respect to time. The kinematic state of a body is considered to be defined if n-th derivative of the body coordinate with respect to time is a constant (i.e. finite). First, kinematic state of a free body is postulated to invariable in an arbitrary reference frame. Second, if the kinematic invariant of the reference frame is the n-th order derivative of coordinate with respect to time, then the body dynamics is describes by a 2n-th order differential equation. For example, in a uniformly accelerated reference frame all free particles have the same acceleration equal to the reference frame invariant, i.e. reference frame acceleration. These bodies are described by third-order differential equation in a uniformly accelerated reference frame.
A simple model of random Brownian walk of a spherical mesoscopic particle in viscous liquids is proposed. The model can be both solved analytically and simulated numerically. The analytic solution gives the known Eistein-Smoluchowski diffusion law $<
r^2> = Dt$ where the diffusion constant $D$ is expressed by the mass and geometry of a particle, the viscosity of a liquid and the average effective time between consecutive collisions of the tracked particle with liquid molecules. The latter allows to make a simulation of the Perrin experiment and verify in detailed study the influence of the statistics on the expected theoretical results. To avoid the problem of small statistics causing departures from the diffusion law we introduce in the second part of the paper the idea of so called Artificially Increased Statistics (AIS) and prove that within this method of experimental data analysis one can confirm the diffusion law and get a good prediction for the diffusion constant even if trajectories of just few particles immersed in a liquid are considered.
The data of four recent experiments --- conducted in Delft, Vienna, Boulder, and Munich with the aim of refuting nonquantum hidden-variables alternatives to the quantum-mechanical description --- are evaluated from a Bayesian perspective of what cons
titutes evidence in statistical data. We find that each of the experiments provides strong, or very strong, evidence in favor of quantum mechanics and against the nonquantum alternatives. This Bayesian analysis supplements the previous non-Bayesian ones, which refuted the alternatives on the basis of small p-values, but could not support quantum mechanics.
Conventionally, one interprets the correlations observed in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiments by Bells inequalities and quantum nonlocality. We show, in this paper, that identical correlations arise, if the phase relations of electromagnetic fields
are considered. In particular, we proceed from an analysis of a one-photon model. The correlation probability in this case contains a phase relation cos(b - a) between the two settings. In the two photon model the phases of the photons electromagnetic fields are related at the origin. It is shown that this relation can be translated into a linearity requirement for electromagnetic fields between the two polarizers. Along these lines we compute the correlation integral with an expression conserving linearity. This expression, as shown, correctly describes the measured values. It seems thus that quantum nonlocality can be seen as a combination of boundary conditions on possible electromagnetic fields between the polarizers and a relation of the electromagnetic fields of the two photons via a phase. We expect the same feature to arise in every experiment, where joint probabilities of separate polarization measurements are determined.
