Reply to Comment on "A local realist model for correlations of the singlet state"

TL;DR

This paper defends a local realist model against critiques, demonstrating it can reproduce quantum experiment results without violating Bell inequalities, thus challenging claims about its limitations.

Contribution

It refutes previous arguments that the model cannot reproduce experimental results and shows it aligns with observed photon and ion-trap experiment data.

Findings

Model reproduces quantum correlations without Bell violation

Frequencies of coincidences match experimental observations

Refutes claims that the model exploits loopholes to mimic quantum results

Abstract

The general conclusion of Seevinck and Larsson is that our model exploits the so-called coincidence-time loophole and produces sinusoidal (quantum-like) correlations but does not model the singlet state because it does not violate the relevant Bell inequality derived by Larsson and Gill, since in order to obtain the sinusoidal correlations the probability of coincidences in our model goes to zero. In this reply, we refute their arguments that lead to this conclusion and demonstrate that our model can reproduce results of photon and ion-trap experiments with frequencies of coincidences that are not in conflict with the observations.
