He does not throw dice” [Einstein et al., 1971], which is commonly paraphrased as “God does not play dice with the universe”. The fact that quantum mechanics does not provide a way to predict outcomes of all possible measurements with certainty lead to the suspicion that quantum mechanics had to be incomplete [Einstein et al., 1935], i.e. the wave-function representation of a system’s state does not contain all relevant information about the system. To complete the theory, a way must be found to capture the missing information in extra variables, often called “hidden variables” as they could not be measured. A deterministic alternate theory to quantum mechanics would therefore be called a “Hidden Variable Theory” (HVT). 10.1.2 Is Quantum Mechanics Wrong? In 1964, John S. Bell investigated the theoretical implications of a possible local HVT and showed that quantum mechanics could not be derived from such a theory to arbitrary accuracy [Bell, 1964]. With this, a hidden variable theory could no longer be a compatible extension to quantum mechanics, but would instead refute quantum mechanics altogether. 226
10.1.3 Settling the Question Experimentally J.F. Clauser, M.A. Horne, A. Shimony, and R.A. Holt later formulated one example of an incompatibility between a hidden variable theory and quantum mechanics into an experiment that could test whether quantum mechanics was indeed incomplete [Clauser et al., 1969]. In the proposed experiment a source is used that produces pairs of particles (e.g. photons or ions) in a perfectly anticorrelated state (e.g. opposite polarization or spin). For the purposes of illustration, the state of the entangled pair (particle A and B) can be taken to be the Bell singlet state | 01 〉−| 10 〉 √ 2 . These particles are then physically separated by a large enough distance to disallow any classical transfer of information between them throughout the remainder of the experiment, i.e. d AB ≫ c t expt . At those remote locations the particles are then measured along random axes (e.g. projected onto the X, Y, or Z-axis of the Bloch sphere). If the singlet state is re-expressed in the basis of the measurement axes, it will still show perfect anti-correlation if the axes are equal, e.g.: | X − X + 〉 − | X + X − 〉 √ 2 = = = | 0 〉−| 1 〉 √ 2 ⊗ | 0 〉+| 1 〉 √ 2 − | 0 〉+| 1 〉 √ 2 ⊗ | 0 〉−| 1 〉 √ 2 √ 2 | 00 〉+| 01 〉−| 10 〉−| 11 〉 − 2 | 00 〉−| 01 〉+| 10 〉−| 11 〉 2 √ 2 | 01 〉 − | 10 〉 √ (10.1) 2 Thus, every time both particles happen to be measured along the same axis 227
