• Title: Test of transient deviations from Quantum Mechanics in Bell's experiment
• Authors: Alejandro Hnilo, Mónica Agüero, Marcelo Kovalsky, Myriam Nonaka,
• Abstract summary: The conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Local Realism is most noticeable in the correlations observed between distant regions of a spatially spread entangled state. It has been hypothesized that transient deviations (from the values predicted by QM) may be observed if the correlations are measured in a time shorter than L/c. We present the results of such a test performed on a specially designed optical Bell setup with a distance between stations up to 24 m in straight line.

• Abstract: The conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Local Realism is most noticeable in the correlations observed between distant regions of a spatially spread entangled state. It has been hypothesized that transient deviations (from the values predicted by QM) may be observed if the correlations are measured in a time shorter than L/c, where L is the spatial spread of the entangled state and c is the speed of light. This hypothesis is appealing for it solves that conflict by minimally modifying the interpretation of QM, and opens the door to potentially fruitful nonlinear generalizations of QM without the risk of allowing faster-than-light signaling. The hypothesis is technically impossible to test directly nowadays, but a stroboscopic test is attainable. We present the results of such a test performed on a specially designed optical Bell setup with a distance between stations up to 24 m in straight line. No difference with the same observations performed at short distance, or evidence of transient deviations, is found. Yet, several hypotheses are involved in this experiment; they are detailed and briefly discussed. To say the least, the space left for the hypothesis of transient deviations is much reduced.

  Losses in the transmission channel, which increase with distance, pose a major obstacle to photonics demonstrations of quantum nonlocality. Recently, Chaturvedi, Viola, and Pawlowski introduced a variation of standard Bell experiments with the goal of extending the range over which quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated. In these experiments, which we call 'routed Bell experiments', Bob can route his quantum particle along two possible paths and measure it at two distinct locations.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
