- Abstract: The Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) puzzle has been used to study quantum
nonlocality and provide an all-or-nothing, no-go theorem for local
hidden-variable models. Recent experiments using coincident-detected entangled
photons prepared in a three-particle GHZ state have been used to test quantum
nonlocality, but fail to rule out local realism due to a reliance on the
fair-sampling hypothesis and insufficient detection efficiency. This paper
describes a physically motivated local hidden-variable model based on
amplitude-threshold detection that is capable of producing similar results.
Detection efficiencies for the model are within the bounds permitted for local
realism and, interestingly, exhibit statistical correlations between detectors,
even when the detection events are spacelike separated. Increasing the
detection threshold improves agreement with the ideal quantum predictions at
the cost of decreased detection efficiency. A curious emergent feature of the
model is that detection efficiencies may depend upon which observables are
chosen for measurement.

Real-world applications of reinforcement learning (RL) require the agent to deal with high-dimensional observations such as those generated from a megapixel camera.
Prior work has addressed such problems with representation learning, through which the agent can provably extract endogenous, latent state information from raw observations.
However, such approaches can fail in the presence of temporally correlated noise in the observations.

Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method.
A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations.
We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
