But they’re carrying shared quantum state — why would it be surprising their actions were correlated?
Eg, that particle being a particular state is correlated to Alice picking a particular measurement because the total system must maintain that quantum number. The particle which emitted the photon and the particles which give way to Alice have carried that information since the inflationary period — and so the photon and Alice share that correlation now.
The conclusion seems to be “the correlation must be at least this old!” — but that’s exactly the claim being made.
So I’m not sure I understand the problem for Bohm-derived models.
- simiones 4y agoLook at the difficulty of creating a quantum computer if you really think that it's plausible shared quantum state would survive for a few billion years and interactions with a whole galaxy. Also, not sure what particular quantum number you think would have to be conserved and would influence Alice's decision of which way to configure her measurement apparatus - this would definitely require some new quantum property.
