ON SEPARABILITY IN THE NOBEL WINNING ENTANGLEMENT EXPERIMENTS

ON SEPARABILITY IN THE NOBEL WINNING ENTANGLEMENT EXPERIMENTS AN OPEN LETTER TO THE 2022 NOBEL COMMITTEE  Abstract: We show that the seminal experiments by Aspect and Zeilinger did not have any causal isolation between source and detectors but only between detectors. We argue that the subsequent calls for the death of separability are premature.  Finally, based on new experimental evidence [1], we advance that a standing wave interpretation of the entanglement experiments, as opposed to the classic Copenhagen interpretation transmutes the paradoxes of entanglement into visual tautologies. PART I: 100 YEARS OF SEPARABILITY AND ENTANGLEMENT I.1: On separability and quantum entanglement.  Einstein pointed out that quantum formalism seemed to imply that two physically distinct systems could not be separated, a feature Schr ̈odinger, would eventually call ”entanglement”. An instantaneous “spooky action at a distance”, no matter what the distance, seemed embedded in the predictions of quantu

Cavity effects in Double Slit experiments in Walker Systems

Image
An article in Quanta Magazine has made quite a stir in the walker community.  The evidence DOOMS any hope for realism in quantum mechanics. Doomed We tell you! The gist of the argument centers around the double slit experiment in analog walker systems. In a nutshell it throws considerable FUD on the original paper by Couder and Fort, at the Parisian Langevin, who first reported results of interference patterns on double slit experiments some 10 years ago. The article claims they may have been quick to declare victory. The insinuation that there may have been fraud on the part of Fort and Couder is in really bad taste and we will pass in silence on that journalistic faux pas.   No replication of Double slit T he problem is that bona fide attempts by teams such as Bush's lab at MIT and others such as Batelaan (Nebraska) and Bohr III have failed to reproduce the effects reported in the original Nature article. Disclosure I work with both the MIT team and the Langevi

The Dollar is an Asset Backed Token.

Image
Many in the crypto land (us at Freeside included) share the opinion that "Asset Backed Tokens" or "Security Token Offerings" are the new black in legal token offerings and that they will bring new levels of liquidity to the crypto exchanges.  At the same time "Stable Coins" are all the rage. What we are going to talk about is the link between the two which is deep and both obvious and obfuscated.   The gist of the STO/ABT constructions is that actual assets, be it debt, equity, or what have you, are backing the token. Real (future) cash flows back the token created out of thin air. These can represent REITs, Accounts receivables, debt, VC or really any cash flow coming from the real world.   To make things clear, and in an interesting parallel, we will describe FIAT money as an ABT.  This is not a stretch or abuse of language but rather a factual staple of modern monetary theory (MMT) and a illuminating meditation for those that wish to spend so

Simulation of Bell violations in Walker system

Image
Discussing poster at emQM17 with R. Brady (Cambridge)  Abstract We describe results from an implementation of a Monte-Carlo simulation of Bell-CHSH type correlations with hydrodynamic walkers as suggested by [Vervoort2017]. We observe the formation of pairs of walkers strongly anti-correlated in position and velocity under various random initial conditions.  With a non-relativistic representation of the walkers, i.e. one where the hydrodynamic waves propagate faster than the walkers, as in real life walkers, we observe numerical S values of CHSH correlations above 2, violating the Bell limit as an explicitly non-local system.  We observe Bell violations up to the Tsirelson limit of 2sqrt(2), but not violating it, under fine-tuned observation and post selection conditions.  We report various such runs in the 2 < S <= 2.82 range under the non-separable assumptions.  However when we numerically enforce programmatic separability of the walkers, a numerically enforced local
