A polarization correlation experiment with two maximally entangled photons created by spontaneous parametric down-conversion is studied in the Weyl-Wigner formalism, that reproduces the quantum predictions. A realistic stochastic interpretation is proposed suggesting that an analysis of the experiments more detailed than the Bell approach may be compatible with local realism. Entanglement appears as a correlation between fluctuations of signal and vacuum fields.

I expose nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics in the Weyl–Wigner representation. Hence, I prove that an approximation to first order in Planck constant has a formal analogy with stochastic…

Vacuum Dependent Bell Local Hidden Variable Models and Generalized C.H.S.H. Inequalities

We extend a previous model of the author which generalizes Bell local hidden variable models to the case of entangled photon pairs assuming that the standard Bell correlation functions depend on a…

Stochastic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Assuming That Vacuum Fields Are Real

We characterize the electromagnetic vacuum as a stochastic field. Some consequences, like the particle behaviour of light, are studied. The stochastic approach is connected with the standard Hilbert…

Violation of Bell Inequalities: Mapping the Conceptual Implications

This short article concentrates on the conceptual aspects of the violation of Bell inequalities, and acts as a map to the 265 cited references. The article outlines (a) relevant characteristics of…

Innsbruck Teleportation Experiment in the Wigner Formalism: A Realistic Description Based on the Role of the Zero-Point Field

In this article, an undulatory description of the Innsbruck teleportation experiment is given, grounded in the role of the zero-point field (ZPF). The Wigner approach in the Heisenberg picture is…

Information Entropy Squeezing and Non-local Correlation Between a Two-Level Atom and Two-Mode Field Under the Classical Field Effect

This paper examines the squeezing on information entropy and entanglement on the basis of a quantum scheme that contains two-mode interaction with time dependence of a two-level atom, including the…

It is found that the down-converted light carries information about the phase of the pump field through the entanglement of the down -converted photons with the vacuum.

Significant-Loophole-Free Test of Bell's Theorem with Entangled Photons.

A Bell test is reported that closes the most significant of loopholes that provide loopholes for a local realist explanation of quantum mechanics, using a well-optimized source of entangled photons, rapid setting generation, and highly efficient superconducting detectors.

An attempt is made to interpret quantum mechanics as a statistical theory, or more exactly as a form of non-deterministic statistical dynamics. The paper falls into three parts. In the first, the…
