How photon detectors remove vacuum fluctuations
Emilio Santos
The main argument against the reality of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum fluctuations is that they do not activate photon detectors. In order to met this objection I propose a m…
Can quantum vacuum fluctuations be considered real?
Emilio Santos
The main argument against the assumption that quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field are real is that they do not activate photon detectors. In order to met this objecti…
What is entanglement?
Emilio Santos
I conjecture that only those states of light whose Wigner function is positive are real states, and give arguments suggesting that this is not a serious restriction. Hence it follo…
A Local Hidden Variables Model for Experiments involving Photon Pairs Produced in Parametric Down Conversion
Alberto Casado, Trevor Marshall, Ramon Risco-Delgado +1
In previous articles we have developed a theory of down conversion in nonlinear crystals, based on the Wigner representation of the radiation field. Taking advantage of the fact th…
Quantum mechanics vs. local realism, is that the question?
Emilio Santos
The conjecture is made that quantum mechanics is compatible with local hidden variables (or local realism). The conjecture seems to be ruled out by the theoretical argument of Bell…
