EPR-B correlations: a physically tenable local-real model

TL;DR

This paper introduces a local-real classical model for EPR-B correlations, predicting observable variations in signal visibility with coincidence window adjustments, challenging the necessity of nonlocality in quantum mechanics.

Contribution

It presents a novel local-real model for EPR experiments that offers testable predictions, questioning the nonlocal interpretation of quantum phenomena.

Findings

Predicts increased signal visibility variation with larger coincidence windows

Provides a testable criterion to validate the local-real model

Challenges the nonlocality assumption in quantum theory

Abstract

We propose a classical, i.e., local-real physical model of processes underlying EPR experiments. The model leads to the prediction, that the visibility of the output signal will exhibit increasing variation as the coincidence window is increased, thus providing a testable criteria for its validity. If it can be sustained, this model undermines the claim that Nature has a fundamentally nonlocal feature or that irreal entities are required by quantum theory.
