In other words, the so-called "quantum" correlations have nothing to do with the bizarre notions like "quantum entanglement", or "non-locality", or "non-reality", or "irreducible randomness", as some would have us believe.

You might find the following of interest in regards to this simulation. I've just finished a Mathematica program that can simulate quantum experiments, hidden variable experiments, several hidden variable with loopholes, Michel's EPR simple, and Joy's simulation being discussed here. Some of the Mathematica program comes from Sascha Vongehr's Randi challenge. I've corrected several things in that program and added a lot.

The simulations all use the same two sets of angles: {0, 135} and {0,90}. The simulations involve random choices of the detector angles, and random values of the spin vectors. I use 10,000 trials. Here are some results:

quantum mechanical calculation:
Cross correlation at zero lag is 0
Bell violated
CHSH violated at 2.43 (can't be greater than 2)

Hidden variables:
Cross correlation is 0
Bell not violated
CHSH = 1.07, not violated

Hidden variables with 50% loophole:
Cross correlation is 0
Bell violated (after several runs)
CHSH = 2.016, violated

Hidden variables with 85% loophole:
Cross correlation is 87% correct
Bell violated
CHSH = 1.98, not violated

EPR simple:
Cross correlation is 83% correct
Bell violated
CHSH = 1.96

Joy's simulation, being discussed here:
Cross correlation is zero
Bell violated
CHSH = 2.395

Comments:
Joy's simulation and quantum mechanical simulation appear very close.
EPR simple looks very much like the 85% loophole simulation.

Thanks, John.

Can you please provide a link to your code? Or you can post it here in some form if you wish. I don't know Mathematica, but at least Fred does.

You will have to provide more details about what you are doing. As it stands your description is as clear as mud to me.

OK, Vongehr specified that n = 800 for his QRC. I have set Joy's 3D S^3 section to n = 800 and the results are consistently like this,

During evaluation of In[141]:= 3D simulation

Out[142]= "correlation at equal angles is correct and equals zero"

Out[143]= {"Bell's inequality is violated, NU1 > NU3+NE2! ", "NU1, \NU3 + NE2 = ", 90, 54}

Out[145]= {2.44081, "CHSH inequality (can not be >2) is violated!"}

Joy's 3-sphere model simulation does beat the QRC!

Of course the Bell fans will claim "loopholes" because they simply can't get out of their R^3 thinking to see what is actually going on in Nature.

Of course the Bell fans will claim "loopholes" because they simply can't get out of their R^3 thinking to see what is actually going on in Nature.

But to us these results are not surprising. I also cannot see how anyone can claim "loopholes" when every single particle [ or the initial state (e, s)] is being counted in the following manifestly local-realistic prescription. I have explicitly shown in the corresponding analytical model that there is one-to-one correspondence between the initial states (e, s) and the measurement events A = +/-1 and B = +/-1 within the 3-sphere model. For every single pair (e, s) there is a pair (A, B), and vice versa:

Code: Select all
A = +sign(g(a,e,s))  # Alice's measurement results A(a, e, s) = +/-1
         
B = -sign(g(b,e,s))  # Bob's measurement results B(b, e, s) = -/+1
       
N = length((A*B)[A & B]) # Number of all possible events observed in S^3
       
corrs[i,j] = sum(A*B)/N  # Product moment correlation coefficient E(a, b)

Clearly, a measurement event cannot occur if there does not exist a state which can bring about that event. One cannot detect that which is not there to begin with.

I think this little illustration I made elsewhere on this forum is a very good pedagogical device to illustrate the basic relationship between the R^3 and S^3 models:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=55&p=4911#p4908

And here is the official website of the Flat Earth Society, which Michel has kindly linked elsewhere on this forum:

http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/

Needless to say, in my view the Bell believers are the modern day flat-earthers. As long as they cannot liberate themselves from R^3, they are unlikely to get S^3.

PS: Albert Jan Wonnink has also made a similar point about my S^3 model on his website: http://challengingbell.blogspot.co.uk/2 ... tians.html

Here are a couple more things:

If you generate a copy of my program using the CDF option in Mathematica and make it available, anyone can read and execute it by downloading the program CDF Player from Wolfram Research. It's free and will execute a CDF file.

The option EPRsimple which is Michel's version can also be made to resemble the quantum results by specifying removeZeros=True in the program.

That makes sense, because phenomenologically the only significant difference between EPR simple and my simulation is the distribution function f(s), which is slightly "non-exact" in the EPR simple case. Conceptually, however, there is a considerable difference between the two. For example, in my case I do not like your choice of the words "removeZeros" in the program, because that gives a wrong impression about "zeros" in the corresponding analytical model: http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.2355.

In any event, it would be interesting to study all the cases you have studied with "removeZeros = True", especially in the case of the experimental data you have used.

Thanks John for emailing me the notebook file. Let me know if anything is wrong in the PDF at the link. For those that have Mathematica, here is a link to the notebook file.

Here is a link to the notePad.txt data file for those that might be interested in running the Physics Today section of John's Mathematica code.

A new topic was created for this simulation program.

There have been a lot of noise and suspicion about the so-called "zero outcomes" in the simulations like mine discussed above and Michel's "EPR simple", so I have written up another simple version of my simulation to make it plain that there are simply no "zero outcomes" in these simulations: http://rpubs.com/jjc/105450.

The crucial point is that one can separate out the "event-ready preparation" of the initial states of the spin from the computation of the correlation, as I have done.

A rigorous experiment confirming the predictions of my local-realistic 3-sphere model has been finally performed. :D

http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.05949.

And here is one of the simulations of my 3-sphere model discussed above (see also http://rpubs.com/jjc/105450).

The theoretical analysis can be found here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.2355.

That is great that we have further experimental validation that the predictions of your model and quantum theory are correct. Very clever experimenters but too bad they are suffering under the mainstream delusions about local realistic models via Bell. And of course, they don't really violate Bell-CHSH since their expectation terms are independent. They are not going to release the raw data until after publication but it probably won't take long to get published.

This experiment finally proves that we do indeed live in a quaternionic 3-sphere!
