Locally Real States in the Elimination of Non-local Superposition and Entanglement

TL;DR

This paper introduces locally real states of electromagnetic radiation that eliminate the need for non-local superposition and entanglement, offering an alternative interpretation consistent with quantum mechanics.

Contribution

It presents a new locally real state framework that avoids non-locality and entanglement, providing a different basis for polarized states in quantum optics.

Findings

Locally real states traverse common loop configurations without non-local superposition.

Correlated photon pairs are consistent with quantum mechanics without Bell's inequality or entanglement.

A novel loop configuration allows differential testing of locally real states versus probabilistic interpretation.

Abstract

Locally real states of electromagnetic radiation derived from the underlying quantum mechanical formalism are shown to provide an alternative basis for definite polarized states of the widely accepted probabilistic interpretation. The locally real states traverse common loop configurations without invoking non-local superposition. Correlated photon pairs represented by the locally real states are consistent with the underlying quantum mechanical formalism independent of Bell's inequality and without invoking entanglement. Replacement of interdependent non-local probabilistic states with the locally real states yields independence of those states. A novel loop configuration provides differential testability of the representation of the locally real states relative to the probabilistic interpretation with the prediction of a unique polarization state.
