Bell's theorem in time without inequalities (2205.15729v2)
Published 30 May 2022 in physics.gen-ph
Abstract: Bell's theorem revealed that a local hidden-variable model cannot completely reproduce the quantum mechanical predictions. Bell's inequality provides an upper bound under the locality and reality assumptions that can be violated by correlated measurement statistics of quantum mechanics. Greenberger, Horne, and Zeilinger (GHZ) gave a more compelling proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities by considering perfect correlations rather than statistical correlations. This work presents a temporal analog of the GHZ argument that establishes Bell's theorem in time without inequalities.
