Bohm-Bell type experiments: Classical probability approach to (no-)signaling and applications to quantum physics and psychology
Abstract
We consider the problem of representation of quantum states and observables in the framework of classical probability theory (Kolmogorov's measure-theoretic axiomatics, 1933). Our aim is to show that, in spite of the common opinion, correlations of observables and involved in the experiments of the Bohm-Bell type can be expressed as correlations of classical random variables and The crucial point is that correlations should be treated as conditional on the selection of the pairs The setting selection procedure is based on two random generators and They are also considered as observables, supplementary to the "basic observables" and These observables are absent in the standard description, e.g., in the scheme for derivation of the CHSH-inequality. We represent them by classical random variables and Following the recent works of Dzhafarov and collaborators, we apply our conditional correlation approach to characterize (no-)signaling in the classical probabilistic framework. Consideration the Bohm-Bell experimental scheme in the presence of signaling is important for applications outside quantum mechanics, e.g., in psychology and social science.
