== violation of a Bell inequality cannot be interpreted as a proof of non-locality. ==

The article cites:
* {{Cite book|first1=Harvey R. |last1=Brown |author-link1=Harvey R.

when it says:
* "Therefore, the violation of a Bell inequality cannot be interpreted as a proof of non-locality."

The ref is a cited but unpublished arxiv article. But it does not support the current content and the current content does not make sense anyway. The question we should address is "how does Bell theorem impact MWI?"

I added a quote to the ref to support a change to the sentence. [[User:Johnjbarton|Johnjbarton]] ([[User talk:Johnjbarton|talk]]) 16:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

:::I understood the papers. I do not agree with the summary you wrote.
:::Two specific claims were made as I described above. Neither paper justifies those claims.
:::I'll go over the discussion I already made above, I guess in more detail.
:::* "Therefore, the violation of a Bell inequality cannot be interpreted as a proof of non-locality."
:::What is the point of this claim here? It has nothing to do with MWI. It is an assertion of a well-known issue with Bell's proof, or any proof for that matter: if your application does not include the preconditions for the proof, the results need not apply. MWI does not satisfy the separability or uniqueness of outcomes required by Bell. The point of the Brown-Timpson paper is that even MWI does not satisfy the preconditions for Bell, MWI still has something interesting to say about Bell. That is what our article should get across.
:::* "Therefore, a violation of a Bell inequality can be interpreted as a demonstration that measurements have multiple outcomes."
:::This statement is either obvious -- you can't have correlation without multiple possible outcomes -- or an extrapolation -- no one believes that Bell correlations prove MWI. So I assume that you meant something else, but what I don't know. I did not see anything like this in the ref, but maybe you did.

::::You were the one who said you didn't understand Deutsch's paper. As is clearly the case. Editing Wikipedia is not about copy-pasting sentences from the references, it's about understanding and summarizing them. The "irrelevance" of Bell's theorem is as an argument against the locality of the theory they are describing, which is a separable version of Many-Worlds. Section 7 proves that if you add the single-outcome assumption to Many-Worlds you get Bell's theorem. Try to read and understand it, it's less than three pages. Its end is rather explicit: {{tq|It is hardly surprising that assigning a single-valued (albeit stochastic) variable to a physical quantity whose true descriptor is a matrix, soon leads to inconsistency}}.
::::As for the Brown-Timpson paper, they are quite explicit that they are demonstrating how a dynamically local theory can violate Bell inequalities.

:::::Thank you for your comments. Please skip the personal attacks.
:::::The Deutsch/Hayden paper is indeed short and about Bell's theorem. However it says nothing about interpretation or MWI. Consequently the claim that:
:::::* In fact, Bell's theorem can be proven in the Many-Worlds framework from the assumption that a measurement has a single outcome.
:::::is not supported by the ref. More important, the conclusion:
:::::* Therefore, a violation of a Bell inequality can be interpreted as a demonstration that measurements have multiple outcomes.
:::::is not in that ref at all. Your opinion about the its application to MWI maybe 100% correct, but that's not relevant for Wikipedia.
:::::I agree with you on the Brown-Timpson paper but that is not what is written in the article. It says:
:::::* At this point we can say that the Bell correlation starts existing, but it was produced by a purely local mechanism. Therefore, the violation of a Bell inequality cannot be interpreted as a proof of non-locality.
:::::The first sentence reads as if the local mechanism occurs at the instant the "Bell correlations start existing" and that description itself is confusing. The second sentence is a strong conclusion not supported by the ref. There are plenty of other papers that discuss that conclusion, but its position here is misleading as it makes it sound like a result of MWI.
:::::My version is not very different from yours. The most important differences are the removal of two sentences of conclusions unsupported by the refs. [[User:Johnjbarton|Johnjbarton]] ([[User talk:Johnjbarton|talk]]) 15:21, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
::::::The Deutsch-Hayden paper is neither short nor about Bell's theorem. It's about developing an explicitly separable formulation of Many-Worlds. At first sight such a project should be impossible because of Bell's theorem, so they included a section showing that Bell's theorem follows from adding the assumption that measurements have single outcomes.
::::::As for the Brown-Timpson paper, of course it supports the conclusion. You even added an appropriate quotation to the article yourself: {{tq|In our discussion of locality in the Everett interpretation we have sought to provide a constructive example illustrating precisely how a theory can be dynamically local, whilst violating local causality}}.

I suggest deleting the whole section on many-worlds. Bell assumes single outcomes. MWI assumes the opposite. They have nothing to do with each other. [[User:Schlafly|Roger]] ([[User talk:Schlafly|talk]]) 01:51, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

:It seems in line with section 9 of Mermin's review. More generally, I'm not sure what the problem is here. Isn't that what ''nonlocal'' means in this context &mdash; influences at the level of the hidden variables that do not diminish with distance and are not limited by the speed of light? I'm not really a fan of the intro as it stands (the second paragraph seems long, in particular), but the quoted claim looks OK for an intro-level gloss on the term ''nonlocal.'' Am I missing something? [[User:XOR&#39;easter|XOR&#39;easter]] ([[User talk:XOR&#39;easter|talk]]) 23:20, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks for your reply. Section 9 concerns Bohm mechanics and I assume the sentence you are referring to is:
::* If two particles are in a correlated state then, because the field guiding the second particle depends on the trajectory of the first, if a field is suddenly turned on in a region where the first particle happens to be, the subsequent motion of the second particle can be drastically altered in a manner that does not diminish with the distance between the two particles.
::To me this description is very different from the article. The phrase implies pairwise interaction: "two particles are able to interact", but the Bohm mechanism described by Mermin requires the guiding field.
::The phrase says "interact instantaneous" but Mermin speaks of the instantaneous position of all the other particles:
::* The wave function guides the particles like this: each particle obeys a first-order equation of motion specifying that its velocity is proportional to the gradient with respect to its position coordinates of the phase of the N-particle wave function, evaluated atthe instantaneous positions of all the other particles
::The phrase may make sense to an expert who imagines the Bohm concept hidden behind the words and understand the many problems with that model. When I read the phrase it sounds exactly like a description of Newtonian gravity. That is what lead me to read the refs. The phrase makes it sound like the conditions imposed by Bell's theorem are not difficult to evade. I do not agree that this summarizes the Mermin article (and nothing in the other ref applies at all).
::Also notice that the phrase is completely different than "Non-local hidden variables" section. That section makes the complexity of the problem much clearer. So the phrase does not summarize the article content in my opinion. [[User:Johnjbarton|Johnjbarton]] ([[User talk:Johnjbarton|talk]]) 02:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
:::Sorry, I'm still confused about what the problem is. For one thing, Einstein ''did'' have to modify Newtonian gravity to make it respect the speed of light. Second, whether or not a "guiding field" is involved doesn't seem relevant at this level of detail.

EPR on lead

I think Nuretok has a point in the edit that XOR'easter reverted. The sentence is correct, but not helpful. But the more fundamental problem is that the lead is going into detail about a result that inspired Bell. Even if the detail was about Bell's theorem itself it wouldn't belong in the lead. Details about EPR are right out. To compound the issue the lead is already extremely long. Therefore I removed all mentions to EPR from there. It's already discussed in the History section, and that's where it belongs.

This also opens space for mentioning the variations of Bell's theorem that Ianjauslin wanted to include last year. I think that's much more relevant than historical background. Tercer (talk) 07:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd been wanting to shorten the lede for a while now, so that seems like a good move. One could maybe make a case that EPR ought to be mentioned up top, but we definitely had too much on it, and I am content with leaving it out as is done presently. XOR'easter (talk) 16:11, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree that the intro was too long and we don't need all the history jammed in there, EPR->Bell's theorem is one of the most significant historical connections in QM. Per our general guidelines to summarize in the intro, a sentence related to EPR is due. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:42, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't object to mention it, as opposed to explain it, but I'm not going to do it myself.
Encouraged by your comments I went a bit further in shortening the lead, eliminating what I think was just repetition. Tercer (talk) 17:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
