Entanglement is Sometimes Enough

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that classical non-deterministic fields can exhibit entanglement and Bell violation phenomena traditionally associated with quantum mechanics, challenging the exclusive quantum interpretation.

Contribution

It introduces a classical field framework that reproduces entanglement and Bell violation results, expanding the understanding of these phenomena beyond quantum theory.

Findings

Classical non-deterministic fields can produce entanglement-like correlations.

Bell violation tests do not exclude classical fields as alternatives.

An experimental setup for verifying classical entanglement is proposed.

Abstract

For many decades the word "entanglement" has been firmly attached to the world of quantum mechanics. So is the phrase "Bell violation". Here we show, without contradicting quantum mechanics, that classical non-deterministic fields also provide a natural basis for entanglement and Bell analyses. Surprisingly, such fields are not eliminated by the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell violation test as viable alternatives to quantum theory. An experimental setup for verification is proposed.
