论文摘要

在这篇文章中,我们为普通观众写了一篇文章,我们提出了一种量子纠缠的机制。关键成分是对撞机的偏见。在因果模型的语言中,撞机是受两个或多个其他变量影响的因果关系。对撞机的调节通常会在其贡献原因之间产生非毒性相关性。在合适的后选择的合奏中,这种现象可以产生类似于贝尔相关的关联。如果对撞机受到“限制”(例如,通过未来的边界条件),这种对撞机工件可能会变成真正的联系,类似于因果关系。我们在QM的倒角模型的背景下考虑了这些点的时间转换类似物。倒流性在EPR-bell粒子对的来源中产生撞机,在这种情况下,通过正常的实验制备方法,对撞机的限制可能是可能的。因此,从实验的一个分支到另一个分支,类似于因果关系的连接可能会出现在此类山脉中。我们的假设是,这种受约束的倒退对撞机偏见是纠缠的起源。该文章基于Arxiv中首次提出的建议:2101.05370V4 [QUANT-PH],是现在在AEON Magazine [Price&Wharton 2023a]上在线发表的一篇文章的祖先。在Arxiv中的参数的更新版本中:2309.10969 [QUANT-PH]我们(i)在真实的铃铛实验中演示了其应用; (ii)证明我们可以在没有明确假设倒逆转的情况下做

In this piece, written for a general audience, we propose a mechanism for quantum entanglement. The key ingredient is collider bias. In the language of causal models, a collider is a variable causally influenced by two or more other variables. Conditioning on a collider typically produces non-causal correlations between its contributing causes. This phenomenon can produce associations analogous to Bell correlations, in suitable post-selected ensembles. Such collider artefacts may become real connections, resembling causality, if a collider is 'constrained' (e.g., by a future boundary condition). We consider the time-reversed analogues of these points in the context of retrocausal models of QM. Retrocausality yields a collider at the source of an EPR-Bell particle pair, and in this case constraint of the collider is possible by normal methods of experimental preparation. It follows that connections resembling causality may emerge across such colliders, from one branch of the experiment to the other. Our hypothesis is that this constrained retrocausal collider bias is the origin of entanglement. This piece is based on a suggestion first made in arXiv:2101.05370v4 [quant-ph], and is an ancestor of an essay now published online in Aeon magazine [Price & Wharton 2023a]. In an updated version of the argument in arXiv:2309.10969 [quant-ph] we (i) demonstrate its application in a real Bell experiment; and (ii) show that we can do without an explicit postulate of retrocausality
