Abstract

It is argued that any quantum probability should correspond to a ratio between the number of counts (positive results) in some measurement and the number of copies of the physical system initially prepared. Then, the proofs of Bell's theorem are criticized on the grounds that the probabilities used to show a violation of the Bell inequalities do not fulfill that condition. A hidden-variables model is proposed which reproduces the results of the optical experimental tests of the inequalities, even with perfect polarizers and detectors.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In atomic-cascade sources, the entanglement is only perfect for photons that are emitted back to back, a loophole that could allow local hidden-variable models to explain experimental data.

    “Moreover, the entanglement is only perfect for photons that are emitted back to back, a loophole that could allow local hidden-variable model to explain the experimental data (Santos, 1991(Santos, , 1992)).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
