论文摘要

对于任何两个纠缠光子的实验,某些联合测量结果的概率可能为零,以确切选择基础。这些完美的反相关似乎是纯粹的量子现象。因此,令人惊讶的是,当通过经典电磁理论分析同一实验的输入时,这些非常反相关也很明显。为任意两光子状态(并分析其成功的原因)展示了这种量子古典连接,这激发了有关纠缠,路径积分以及量子基础中其他主题的替代观点。

For any experiment with two entangled photons, some joint measurement outcomes can have zero probability for a precise choice of basis. These perfect anti-correlations would seem to be a purely quantum phenomenon. It is therefore surprising that these very anti-correlations are also evident when the input to the same experiment is analyzed via classical electromagnetic theory. Demonstrating this quantum-classical connection for arbitrary two-photon states (and analyzing why it is successful) motivates alternative perspectives concerning entanglement, the path integral, and other topics in quantum foundations.
