Irrelevance of Bell's Theorem for experiments involving correlations in space and time: a specific loophole-free computer-example

TL;DR

This paper presents a computer simulation model that challenges Bell's theorem by reproducing quantum correlations in EPR-Bohm experiments without violating locality or realism, suggesting Bell's inequalities may not be universally applicable.

Contribution

The authors introduce a discrete-event computer simulation that replicates quantum correlations, providing a counterexample to Bell's theorem's implications for space-time correlations.

Findings

Simulation reproduces quantum correlations accurately

Model is free of detection and coincidence loopholes

Challenges the universality of Bell's inequalities

Abstract

John Bell is generally credited to have accomplished the remarkable "proof" that any theory of physics, which is both Einstein-local and "realistic" (counterfactually definite), results in a strong upper bound to the correlations that are measured in space and time. He thus predicts that Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiments cannot violate Bell- type inequalities. We present a counterexample to this claim, based on discrete-event computer simulations. Our model-results fully agree with the predictions of quantum theory for Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm experiments and are free of the detection- or a coincidence-loophole.
