• Title: Superdeterminism Without Conspiracy
• Authors: Tim Palmer
• Abstract summary: A non-conspiratorial locally causal model is developed where each pair of entangled particles has unique $lambda$. The model is based on a specific but arbitrarily fine discretisation of complex Hilbert space. It is shown how quantum mechanics might be gloriously explained and derived' as the singular continuum limit of the discretisation of Hilbert space.

• Abstract: Superdeterminism - where the Measurement Independence assumption in Bell's Theorem is violated - is frequently assumed to imply implausibly conspiratorial correlations between properties $\lambda$ of particles being measured and measurement settings $x$ and $y$. But it doesn't have to be: a superdeterministic but non-conspiratorial locally causal model is developed where each pair of entangled particles has unique $\lambda$. The model is based on a specific but arbitrarily fine discretisation of complex Hilbert space, where $\lambda$ defines the information, over and above the freely chosen nominal settings $x$ and $y$, which fixes the exact measurement settings $X$ and $Y$ of a run of a Bell experiment. Pearlean interventions, needed to assess whether $x$ and $y$ are Bell-type free variables, are shown to be inconsistent with rational-number constraints on the discretised Hilbert states. These constraints limit the post-hoc freedom to vary $x$ keeping $\lambda$ and $y$ fixed but disappear with any coarse-graining of $\lambda$, $X$ and $Y$, rendering so-called drug-trial conspiracies irrelevant. Points in the discretised space can be realised as ensembles of symbolically labelled deterministic trajectories on an `all-at-once' fractal attractor. It is shown how quantum mechanics might be `gloriously explained and derived' as the singular continuum limit of the discretisation of Hilbert space; It is argued that the real message behind Bell's Theorem has less to do with locality, realism or freedom to choose, and more to do with the need to develop more explicitly holistic theories when attempting to synthesise quantum and gravitational physics.

• Observing super-quantum correlations across the exceptional point in a single, two-level trapped ion [48.7576911714538]
  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

  Even when regularized using a finite lattice, Bosonic quantum field theories possess an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. A qubitization of the $1+1$ dimensionalally free $sigma$-model based on ideas of non-commutative geometry was previously proposed. We provide evidence that it reproduces the physics of the $sigma$-model both in the infrared and the ultraviolet regimes.

We show how to quantify superdeterministic conspiracy without using nonequilibrium. Nonlocal and retrocausal models turn out to be non-conspiratorial according to both approaches.
