Abstract
This paper discusses the well-known delayed choice Quantum Eraser experiment performed by Kim et al. in 2000 and analyzes it from a Classical Physics perspective. I have included a diagram of the setup used in the experiment. I show that the result of the experiment can be explained by Classical Physics and does not require “Spooky action at a distance” due to entangled particles, as Einstein famously once put it, nor events modifying the past due to the delayed choice aspect of the experiment.
Highlights
This paper is the second I have written on analyses of key experiments in Quantum Optics that claim to employ entangled photons in the experimental setup, resulting in correlations in photon detections which are claimed to demonstrate the Quantum nature of the behaviour of the light in the experiments
It is claimed by these experimental results that no Local, Real (Classical Physics) explanation for the results is possible, and the design of these experimental setups is done in such a way to supposedly close any loopholes that would allow for a Classical explanation
The EPR experiment is thought to demonstrate that photons of light can become entangled when they are created by a process such as Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion (SPDC) and can travel on to different, spa
Summary
This paper is the second I have written on analyses of key experiments in Quantum Optics that claim to employ entangled photons in the experimental setup, resulting in correlations in photon detections which are claimed to demonstrate the Quantum nature of the behaviour of the light in the experiments. It is claimed by these experimental results that no Local, Real (Classical Physics) explanation for the results is possible, and the design of these experimental setups is done in such a way to supposedly close any loopholes that would allow for a Classical explanation. My model found a Steering Inequality of 1.622, yet a Classical model in only supposed to be able to give a Steering Inequality of 1 or less
