#386728 — Classical entanglement.

SubjectClassical entanglement.
Message-ID<2c2144be-f6d2-484c-8fbc-b8aaa37bc56f@googlegroups.com>
Just gave some thought to a thought experiment, which may be performed using classical systems.

Supposing we take fire two projectiles so that they interact and collide at some point, (an opening in a lead plate) before rebounding in opposite directions. 

We locate detectors to observe the spins of these projectiles after the collision. 

Could it be determined that their "spins" are correlated even though they are now separated by lead plate ? 

I would imagine that yes, they could be correlated. 

Any thoughts ?

Certainly, they'll be correlated. The measurements of their spins will 
be found to be described by a local model ("hidden" variable).

It's entirely uninteresting.

See, I think the same is true of entangled elementary particles. There's nothing interesting about them, wouldn't you agree Sylvia ?

The math tells us that with entangled particles, a local model, 
including a hidden variable model, won't work. That's why entangled 
particles are interesting, and projectiles are not.

The math tells us whatever we assume as axioms.

Woah.. hang up a sec. Our detectors are measuring spin and can not communicate through the lead plate, nor do they observe the local interaction that takes place. Ok, I'll draw a diagram of the setup for you.

A hidden variable model does not require communication between the 
detectors.

Well, its quite feasible classically, to ensure that Alice and Bob are not aware of any interaction happening at the rebound point. So the detectors do not communicate classically here either (rather they send their results to a 3rd location where the results are correlated).

In this classical situation we can model the behaviour on the basis that 
what Alice detects depends only on what Alice decides to measure, and 
that what Bob detects depends only on what Bob decides to measure. That 
is, the model is local.

When we try this with particles, such a model doesn't work, and we need 
a non-local model in which what Alice and Bob each detect depends on 
what both Alice and Bob decide to measure.

This is predicted by the theory, and is born out in experiments.

Yes. The experimental results are as predicted by the theory, and 
neither can be described by a local model.

Sylvia. This isn't a local model. A has no local relations or effects with B. They're separated by a lead plate.

That's not what local model means. After the peas interact at the 
intersection point, each pea has a definite velocity and spin, and Alice 
and Bob measure those independently of each other. All the information 
required to determine the values that Alice will measure is contained 
within Alice's pea. When Alice performs her measurements, she is at the 
same place as the pea. Her measurements are local.

The same applies to Bob and his pea. So the model of the behaviour 
involves only local interactions between the peas and the person doing 
the measuring.

Now, it might have been thought that the same thing would be true when 
the experiment is done using particles. The theory that each particle 
contains the information required to determine the results of 
measurements performed on that particle (i.e. a local model) constrains 
the possible results, and the actual results violate the constraint. The 
theory is falsified - it's wrong.

Hmm, I'm getting the impression that you aren't fully aware of the meaning of locality with respect to these types of entanglement experiments. 

Essentially, locality regards interactions. i.e. 

"To exert an influence, something, such as a wave or particle, must travel through the space between the two points, to carry the influence."

Now that is clearly not the case between A and B. A and B are not exerting influences upon eachother "locally" during their respective measures of the spin in this setup. 

They might in a very negligible way be influencing the motion of the ball spin, by rebounding signals from it during the observation. What is different in a quantum system, is that the act of observation is not negligible, and forces an elementary particle into a particular state. 

So there are no locally "hidden" variables here Sylvia. There is no "hidden" communication happening directly between Alice and Bob causing their outcomes to be correlated. 

For example, the principle of locality in SR relates to the speed of light. I.e. that if Alice and Bob were communicating information with light signals to each other, then locality demands these transmission be ≤c. So the setup of a lead plate Between Alice and Bob disallows any local interactions between them.

It doesn't matter what the measurements do to the particles. It's the 
measurement outcomes, whatever they are, that show the non-locality, 
because those outcomes are correlated in a way that cannot possibly be 
the result of purely local interactions.

Nick Herbert provides a very simple and accessible proof of that on his 
page here:

http://quantumtantra.com/bell2.html

That's not to say there's any communication. We don't know how the 
Universe achieves it.

Your lead plates are a red-herring. The correlation in your pea-shooter 
experiment doesn't require communication anyway. In the particle case, 
you've no way of knowing whether lead plates would be sufficient - 
they're pretty much transparent to neutrinos, for example.

Which is exactly what happens in this apparatus. The correlations that A and B find, are not the outcome of local interactions between A and B. A and B have no knowledge at all of any interaction between the balls. Yet, they measure the same or opposite outcomes.

We have an experiment were the peas come out of the pea shooters with 
known momentum and angular momentum, interact where they intersect, and 
then have their momentum and angular momentum measured respectively by 
Alice and Bob.

The results are then compared, and found to be correlated on the basis 
of the known initial conditions and the requirements that momentum and 
angular momentum be conserved. If the peas come out of the pea shooter 
with zero angular momentum, then the angular momentum measurements of 
Alice and Bob will be found to be equal and opposite.

This is described by a local model - each pea has a momentum and angular 
momentum that can be measured by an observer colocated with the pea - 
this is, Alice and Bob measure their respective peas when they arrive.

I really have difficulty understanding why you think this has any 
significance.

Sylvia.

Nope Sylvia.

Their results are not compared that way. They needn't be for they will be perfectly correlated. There's no need to discuss angular momentum force or these initial conditions. A and B can set up a coordinate system, and assign simple numerical values for spin. 1 up, 0 down etc. Every time a ball comes into their cavity they produce the measure and send it to correlation point.

Neither do elementary particles. The quantizations are "assigned" to specific states. There is nothing preventing a left spin being assigned 0 and a right spin being assigned 1.
