Abstract
Can quantum information systems be understood using local realism? The consensus is No. Quantum information is based on qubits and Bell states. According to conventional wisdom these cannot be understood using local realism. Invariably local realism is assumed, incorrectly, to refer only to the Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) model. Today a radically different model of local realism has arisen. The Theory of Elementary Waves (TEW) is incompatible with Einsteins picture of reality but nevertheless is local and realistic. We show that the Bell test experiments that invalidate EPR, validate TEW! This article uses TEW to reproduce all four Bell states. From TEW we derive the Bell states. We also show that TEW can explain an experiment using remote entangled photons that have no shared history, which are entangled because ofentanglement swapping. The implications of our study for quantum information theory are unclear, except that the term nonlocal should be replaced with a more precise and fruitful term. Nonlocal is vague and misleading. Elementary ray is a verifiable and precisely defined term that can replace it. This paradigm shift could inspire a new generation of quantum information experiments.
Highlights
Niels Bohr said that physical reality at the quantum scale either does not exist, or is structured in a manner so drastically different than the classical world we live in, that humans cannot comprehend it.[1]
The word “entanglement” in Theory of Elementary Waves (TEW) means that two particles are following the same bi-ray. Such a bi-ray induces a relationship between the two particles based on contingency variables. We show that this bi-ray math is able to reproduce the results of quantum math under conditions of the four Bell states
quantum mathematics (QM) can be defined as the science of “observables,” not the science of physical reality independent of the observer
Summary
Niels Bohr said that physical reality at the quantum scale either does not exist, or is structured in a manner so drastically different than the classical world we live in, that humans cannot comprehend it.[1]. One of the themes of this article is that a new theory, the Theory of Elementary Waves (TEW) [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], has emerged as a complementary science: the science of physical reality independent of the observer. Bohr‟s portrayal of nature as unintelligible was reiterated in John Bell‟s picture of the quantum world.[12,13,14] From Bell, that anti-reality view infected all of quantum informational theory. We will show how TEW can explain the data in the Kwiat article
