Generalized uncertainty principle and quantum non-locality

TL;DR

This paper investigates how replacing the Heisenberg uncertainty principle with the generalized uncertainty principle, which includes a minimal length, affects quantum non-locality as demonstrated in the Franson experiment.

Contribution

It explores the implications of the generalized uncertainty principle on quantum non-locality, extending the understanding beyond traditional Heisenberg-based frameworks.

Findings

Implications of minimal length on quantum correlations

Alterations in non-locality explanations due to generalized uncertainty

Potential modifications to quantum entanglement interpretations

Abstract

The emergence of the generalized uncertainty principle and the existence of a non-zero minimal length are intertwined. On the other hand, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle forms the core of the EPR paradox. Subsequently, here, the implications of resorting to the generalized uncertainty principle (or equally, the minimal length) instead of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle on the quantum non-locality are investigated through focusing on the Franson experiment in which the uncertainty relation is the backbone of understanding and explaining the results.
