	Bell's theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bell's theorem is often presented in the context of the foundations of quantum mechanics, since quantum mechanics predicts cases in which a Bell inequality is infringed.
		John Bell's ground-breaking mid-1960s papers examined both John von Neumann's 1932 proof of the incompatibility of hidden variables with QM and Albert Einstein and his colleagues' seminal 1935 paper on the subject.
		Bell's inequalities are tested by "coincidence counts" from a Bell test experiment such as the optical one shown in the diagram.

	Bell measurement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bell measurement is an important concept in quantum information science: It is a joint quantum-mechanical measurement of two qubits that determines in which of the four Bell states the two qubits are in.
		If the qubits were not in a Bell state before, they get projected into a Bell state (according to the projection rule of quantum measurements), and as Bell states are entangled, a Bell measurement is an entangling operation.
		In Bell measurements of ion qubits in ion trap experiments, the distinction of all four states is possible.

		Measurement of the Discharge of Rivers.—The area of cross others they diminish.
		In wider streams the use of ropes to mark the length of run is impossible, and recourse must be had to box sextants or theodolites to mark the path of the floats.

	John Bell and the most profound discovery of science (December 1998) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		Bell was especially interested in theoretical physics and a year later he was able to graduate for a second time, obtaining a first in mathematical physics in 1949.
		Bell's numerical calculations had shown signs of the strong focusing principle, and when it was established formally in 1952 he rapidly became an expert and acted as a consultant to the team designing the Proton Synchrotron at CERN in Geneva.
		Bell and his wife were both long-term vegetarians, and in his version of Schrödinger's cat paradox, the two states of the cat are being hungry or not hungry, rather than being dead or alive.

	The EPR Paradox and Bell's Inequality Principle
		QM suggests that if say the measurement of the photon 1 x-spin happens first, then this measurement must instantaneously force photon 2 into a state of ill-defined y-spin, even though it is light years away from photon 1.
		Measure the spin in one axis of one particle and the spin in another axis of the other photon.
		Let n[x+, y+] be the designation for "the number of measurements of pairs of photons in which the first photon measured x+, and the second photon measured y+." Use a similar designation for the other possible results.

	Fundamentals of quantum information (March 1998) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		In working with Bell states it is common to refer to four unitary operations: the phase shift, the bit flip, the combined phase-shift/bit-flip, and the identity operator, which does not change the state on which it operates.
		Alice then performs a joint Bell-state measurement on the teleportee (the photon she wants to teleport) and one of the ancillary photons, and randomly obtains one of the four possible Bell results.
		It is essential to understand that the Bell-state measurement performed by Alice projects the teleportee qubit and her ancillary photon into a state that does not contain any information about the initial state of the teleportee.

	Quantum teleportation - free-definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		If Alice now has a particle which she wants to teleport to Bob, she does a so-called Bell measurement on the particle to be sent and on particle I. The Bell measurement (for details see the article on it) projects Alice's two particle into one of the four Bell states.
		The two measured particles are afterwards in a known entangled state, specified by the measurement result, and the particle to be sent has lost its former state.
		This is because the outcome of the Bell measurement is perfectly random and hence the rotation of the teleported state (see above) is random as well.

	Realistic theories and randomness
		Often Bell's result is presented as showing that quantum mechanics is not a realistic theory rather than showing that it is nonlocal.
		Measuring the position of one particle puts constraints on the position of the other particle.
		The probabilistic element in the measurements is sufficient to mask any information about which measurement influenced which distant observation, but the mathematics requires that one of the two measurements did influence the more distant observation.

	Bell's Theorem
		The second condition means that one can "separate" the probabilities for measurements on A and B (ie: the probabilities for measurements at A and B are two independent functions).
		For example, if we are measuring the polarization of light or the spin of a particle, then then a would define the projection axis of the spin or the polarization.
		Notice that the result of a measurement on particle 1 is not affected by the orientation of detector "B" nor does it depend on any measurement which might have taken place on particle 2 (ie.

	Quantum Mechanics: Fundamentals
		Identical particles are discussed, with a treatment of second quantization and an introduction to Bose--Einstein condensation, and the last chapter is a brief introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics, including the Dirac equation, the electromagnetic interaction of a Dirac particle, the scattering of ultra-relativistic electrons and a treatment of bound states in a Coulomb field.
		Bell’s theorem is analysed in some detail; also included are the Clauser--Horne inequality and the experimental test of the Bell inequality by Aspect.
		The conclusion is that after a measurement, interference terms are ‘effectively’ absent; the set of ‘one-to-one correlations between states of the apparatus and the object’ has the same form as that of everyday statistics and is thus a probability distribution.

	Quantum Teleportation
		Alice makes an appropriate projective measurement (Bell measurement) of the unknown state together with her component of the shared entangled state.
		The result of this measurement is a random piece of classical information which Alice sends to Bob over their classical communication channel.
		Notice that the input state is destroyed by Alice's projective measurement, so that teleportation does not result in "cloning" of a quantum state.

	TelePOVM—A generalized quantum teleportation scheme
		To teleport this state to Bob, she performs a joint measurement on the two particles that are in her hands: the unknown quantum state and her share of the EPR pair.

	Bohmian Mechanics and the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
		The first charge against "measurement", in the fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics, is that it anchors the shifty split of the world into "system" and "apparatus".
		When it is said that something is "measured" it is difficult not to think of the result as referring to some preexisting property of the object in question.
		It was soon abandoned and utterly ignored until rediscovered a quarter century later by David Bohm, who showed how it resolved the measurement problem and accounted for the reduction of the wave packet.

		The Bell basis measurement was based on a procedure originally suggested by Brassard.
		In fact this is what measurement really is. So, by allowing carbon nuclei quantum states to decohere, they effectively used the environment to perform the projective measurement for them.

		Researchers from the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology and Bell Laboratories of Lucent Technologies have teamed to produce a more precise method for measuring the frequency of visible and infrared light (Science, 4-28-00).
		The measurements made by the NIST/Lucent system have a higher level of precision than conventionally derived ones because they are directly compared to the well-defined primary frequency standard of a cesium-133 atomic clock.
		This makes it possible to determine the absolute frequency of each of the "teeth" of the comb, and provides a means of measuring optical frequencies with a single laser.
