Homodyne detection and parametric down-conversion: a classical approach applied to proposed "loophole-free" Bell tests

Caroline H Thompson

A classical model is presented for the features of parametric down-conversion and homodyne detection relevant to recent proposed ``loophole-free'' Bell tests. The Bell tests themse…

The "Chaotic Ball" model,local realism and the Bell test loopholes

Caroline H. Thompson, Horst Holstein

It has long been known that the "detection loophole", present when detector efficiencies are below a critical figure, could open the way for alternative "local realist" explanation…

Rotational Invariance, Phase Relationships and the Quantum Entanglement Illusion

Caroline H Thompson

Another Bell test "loophole" - imperfect rotational invariance - is explored, and novel realist ideas on parametric down-conversion as used in recent "quantum entanglement" experim…

Subtraction of ``accidentals'' and the validity of Bell tests

Caroline H. Thompson

In some key Bell experiments, including two of the well-known ones by Alain Aspect, 1981-2, it is only after the subtraction of ``accidentals'' from the coincidence counts that we…

Timing, ``Accidentals'' and Other Artifacts in EPR Experiments

Caroline H. Thompson

Subtraction of ``accidentals'' in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiments frequently changes results compatible with local realism into ones that appear to demonstrate non-locality. Th…

Timing and Other Artifacts in EPR Experiments

Caroline H. Thompson

Re-evaluation of the evidence (some of it unpublished) shows that experimenters conducting Einstein-Podolsky-Bohm (EPR) experiments may have been deceived by various pre-conception…
