Is it possible to determine the state or values of something without measuring it
To give context to this question, I am currently looking into non-locality / hidden variables / Bell's Theorem, EPR / etc.
I've noticed the assertion that the values / state of something when ...

EPR vs. EPRBB? Why can't we perform the original EPR experiment?
The EPR gedanken experiment was invented by Einstein Podolsky and Rosen in 1935.
It involved positions and momenta. In 1957, Bohm revised this gedanken experiment into one involving spins, or ...

How do we show that no hidden variable theories can replace QM?
I've always hit two big stumbling blocks in conceiving of the proof or disproof of hidden variable theories as being even valid idea, let alone an answerable question... I feel I must be ...

EPR-type experiments and faster-than-light communication using interference effects as signaling mechanism
I understand that faster-than-light communication is impossible when making single measurements, because the outcome of each measurement is random. However, shouldn't measurement on one side collapse ...

Photon source for Bell test
Wiki tells us that In practice most actual experiments have used light, assumed to be emitted in the form of particle-like photons (produced by atomic cascade or spontaneous parametric down ...

Tracking down the locality assumption in a CHSH inequality derivation
CHSH inequality requires both locality and realism. I will equate here realism with counterfactual definiteness.
Now counterfactual definiteness tells us that given two different measurements on the ...

Is the translational information all that matters, or do we need to take into account internal states?
For anyone in this community that's familiar with quantum teleportation, I need desperate help. I am currently working on my senior thesis and my goal is to teleport a molecule.
Background:
So in ...

Could the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle turn out to be false?
While investigating the EPR Paradox, it seems like only two options are given, when there could be a third that is not mentioned - Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle being given up.
The setup is this ...

Relativity and Entanglement
Say we have two particles which are entangled so that they have opposite spins. If one is up, the other is down. They are sent off to two spatially separated observers A and B. Both observers can ...

Trying to understand the EPR paradox
So I keep reading all these articles on the EPR paradox, and I follow them pretty easily right up until it gets to the most important matter.
Assuming you are trying to measure x and y spin,

Can observations of entangled particles affect their unobserved counterparts?
There are two experiments that are often used to explain Quantum Mechanics: the two-slit experiment and the EPR paradox. I am curious what would happen if you combined them.
Imagine an experiment ...

Is quantum entanglement mediated by an interaction?
You can get two photons entangled, and send them off in different directions; this is what happens in EPR experiments. Is the entanglement then somehow affected if one puts a thick slab of EM ...
