• Abstract: Bell's inequalities rely on the assumption of measurement independence, namely that the probabilities of adopting configurations of hidden variables describing a system prior to measurement are independent of the choice of physical property that will be measured. Weakening this assumption can change the inequalities to accommodate experimental data. We illustrate this by considering quantum measurement to be the dynamical evolution of hidden variables to attractors in their phase space that correspond to eigenstates of system observables. The probabilities of adopting configurations of these variables prior to measurement then depend on the choice of physical property measured by virtue of the boundary conditions acting on the dynamics. Allowing for such measurement dependence raises the upper limit of the CHSH parameter in Bell's analysis of an entangled pair of spin half particles subjected to measurement of spin components along various axes, whilst maintaining local interactions. We demonstrate how this can emerge and illustrate the relaxed upper limit using a simple toy model of dynamical quantum measurement. The conditioning of the hidden variable probability distribution on the chosen measurement settings can persist far back in time in certain situations, a memory that could explain the correlations exhibited in an entangled quantum system.

• Origin of meter fluctuations in weak measurement interactions [0.0]
  Measurements map the value of a target observable onto a meter shift, resulting in a meter readout that combines the initial statistics of the meter state with the quantum statistics of the target observable. Here, we analyze the changes in the meter readout statistics caused by sufficiently weak measurement interactions. In addition, our analysis reveals a direct modification of the meter fluctuations due to the dependence of the post-selection probability on the dynamics induced by the meter in the measurement interaction.
