Quantum Interference and Bell’s Theorem, 5 pages.

Abstract

A local realist theory can make the correct predictions for a Bell test, under a small set of assumptions: that a Bell test involves interference, a photon can have a linear polarization and certain probability amplitudes before it reaches a polarizer, and two photons in a Bell pair initially travel in opposite directions. This paper attempts to justify those claims, and to explore how and when to account for quantum interference.

Notes

This paper is a follow-up to a previous one on Bell’s theorem.
