Bell inequalities for random fields

Other Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v4 High Energy Physics - Theory Quantum Physics

Abstract

The assumptions required for the derivation of Bell inequalities are not usually satisfied for random fields in which there are any thermal or quantum fluctuations, in contrast to the general satisfaction of the assumptions for classical two point particle models. Classical random field models that explicitly include the effects of quantum fluctuations on measurement are possible for experiments that violate Bell inequalities.
