Basil J. Hiley (University of London) Submitted to “Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell’s theorem” I present the background of the Bohm approach that led John Bell to a study of quantum non-locality from which his famous inequalities emerged. I recall the early experiments done at Birkbeck with an aim to explore the possibility of `spontaneous collapse’,… Read more →
Gordon N. Fleming Submitted to “Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell’s theorem” I argue, in section 4, that the ‘elements of reality’ of Hardy’s famous gedanken experiment can retain their Lorentz invariance, i.e., their frame independence, if one recognizes the hyperplane dependence of their localization. This requires avoiding the conflation of hyperplane dependence with frame dependence, which… Read more →
Bernard d’Espagnat Submitted to “Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell’s theorem” Important advancements in scientific knowledge may, not infrequently, be looked at from several angles. Here, for investigating the question the article title defines, part of our attention shall have to be turned on the relationships of Bell’s theorem with the old, but still not fully cleared… Read more →
H. Dieter Zeh Submitted to “Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell’s theorem”. For the first time I met John Bell at the Varenna conference of 1970 (d’Espagnat, 1971). I had been invited on suggestion by Eugene P. Wigner, who had already helped me to publish my first paper on the concept of what was later called decoherence… Read more →
Andrew Whitaker (Queen’s University Belfast) Submitted to “Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell’s theorem”. John Bell lived in Ireland for only 21 years, but throughout his life he remembered his Irish upbringing with fond memories, pride and gratitude. Ireland has a very respectable tradition in physics, and particularly mathematical physics (McCartney and Whitaker 2003). As early as… Read more →
Stephen L. Adler Institute for Advanced Study, Einstein Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA. Submitted to “Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell’s theorem”. I briefly recall intersections of my research interests with those of John Bell. I then argue that the noise needed in theories of objective state vector reduction most likely comes from a fluctuating complex part in the… Read more →
