What will the referees say about my local realism paper?

I am, by the way, an interloping chemist. I actually think that not being brought up in physics has helped me see through the EPR paradox, but I can actually concur with the earlier negative responses I got as I blundered onto the field and asked stupid questions like, “What is the mechanism for teleportation?”.

Seminar: A local realistic reconciliation of the EPR paradox–Part 6 Video

In this part it is shown that the two dimensional spin model predicts the filter angles that give the maximum violation of the CHSH form of Bell's Inequalities. It is also shown that the 2D spin is consistent with the non-commutative trigonometry by Karl Gustafson who found that a vector of length √2 is needed for the violation. This vector his has the same properties of the 2D structured spin presented here.

Seminar: A local realistic reconciliation of the EPR paradox–Part 5 Video

In this part my two dimensional spin model in introduced. The model treats one of the many spins that makes up the statistical ensemble that is the quantum state. It is shown how averaging over all the Local Hidden Variables agrees completely with the correlation found in EPR experiments in a local and realistic way.

Seminar: A local realistic reconciliation of the EPR paradox–Part 4 Video

Two aspects of quantum mechanics that are not understood are non-locality and the persistence of entanglement to space-like separations. In this part entanglement is explained and non-locality is shown to be a concept that no-one understands. Non-locality is called quantum weirdness.

A Local Realistic Reconciliation of the EPR Paradox

Since there is no experimental way to confirm that two axes exist, rather than one, the choice between local realism and non-local indeterminism is subjective. Since non-locality is the basis of “quantum weirdness”, Occam’s razor takes the side of locality.

CHSH: there lies a vector of length √2

....rather than showing the consistency of the 2D spin with the CHSH equation, we show the CHSH equation predicts the hidden spin. That is starting with the CHSH form of Bell’s Inequalities, a vector of length √2 is found that maximizes the CHSH equation: the 2D spin is hidden inside the CHSH equation.

When quantum mechanics fails in EPR experiments

Intuition tells us that if we improve detection efficiency and build better experiments the number of detected events will increase until, at 100% efficiency, Fair Sampling would be verified because all events would be recorded. This fails, however, to take into account the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Fair Sampling is always valid for classical events but not always valid for quantum events.

Spin and Quantum Computers

One day I am sure that physics will view Nature as real. Throughout history initial ideas of non-local effects, also called “action-at-a-distance”, have been repudiated and replaced with something more physically reasonable. The most well-known examples are the early attempts to understand gravity and electromagnetism. So it will be with non-locality between entangled particles.

The Bloch Sphere and Spin in Quantum Mechanics

This complementary nature of states with non-commuting operators, (σX, σY ,σZ), is the basis for the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (CI). It states, basically, that if the Z states exist then the X do not, and vice versa. I would rather conclude that it is impossible to determine experimentally if spin has more than one axis of quantization.

Complementarity between spin components in quantum mechanics

This example nicely shows several things about quantum mechanics. First quantum mechanics is a statistical theory of measurement. You only get the SG results after many spins have been filtered. Second, Heisenberg’s uncertainty relations tell us that you cannot devise an experiment that will measure both the Z and X polarization simultaneously. You can do it for one, but not the other, and vice versa.

Quantum Crackpot RANDI Challenge Taken: Part 2

An unfiltered particle is called “Pristine” as defined in the website called Bell’s theorem refuted. The values of the LHV of a pristine particle are unknown. A pristine EPR pair is one before filtering. ....I will present a model that shows a disentangled product state not only gives the quantum result, but predicts something new.

Quantum Crackpot Randi Challenge Taken: Part 1

In answering the Crackpot Randi Challenge, I following Crackpot rules to obtain results which agree with the experimental data of Gregor Weihs and Alain Aspect, without entanglement.
