The Violation Of Bell's Inequality In A Deterministic But Nonlocal Model, Stephanie Allred Magleby
The Violation Of Bell's Inequality In A Deterministic But Nonlocal Model, Stephanie Allred Magleby
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis investigates the violation of Bell's Inequality through the use of nonlocal measurement schemes as encapsulated in a quasi-deterministic toy model. This toy model, called the Q Box, is reminiscent of Mermin's Box in that it describes a system that appears to be deterministic yet produces the statistics of a quantum type system. [1] The workings of the Q Box are detailed both as a thought experiment and as a computer simulation. Nonlocal measurement protocols similar to those which generate a violation of Bell's Inequality in the Q Box are also applied to Mermin's Box, with comparable results. [1] …
