Hidden-Variable Example Based upon Data Rejection 论文

摘要

A deterministic local hidden-variable model is presented which describes the simultaneous measurement of the spins of two spin-\textonehalf{} particles which emerged from the decay of a spin-zero particle. In this model the measurement of the spin of a particle has one of three possible outcomes: spin parallel to the apparatus axis, spin antiparallel to the apparatus axis, or the particle goes undetected. It is shown that agreement with the predictions of quantum theory is obtained provided the experimenter rejects the "anomalous" data in which only one particle is detected. A reasonably model-independent lower bound to the fraction of undetected particles is also computed: It is found that in 14% of the decays or more, one or both of the particles will go undetected.
