- Title: Proposal of an optical Bell's experiment to test the boundary between determinism and indeterminism in Quantum Mechanics
- Authors: Alejandro Hnilo, Marcelo Kovalsky, Mónica Agüero, Myriam Nonaka,
- Abstract summary: It was recently noted the existence of an apparently discontinuous boundary between determinism and indeterminism in Quantum Mechanics.
We propose to explore this boundary by recording the distribution of outcomes of a given parity interrupted by outcomes of the other parity.
The features of these distributions for small rotations of the angle settings near critical points may indicate whether the underlying process is in-deterministic or not.

- Abstract: It was recently noted the existence of an apparently discontinuous boundary between determinism and indeterminism in Quantum Mechanics. We propose to explore this boundary in an optical Bell's experiment by recording the distribution, of the number of strings of outcomes of a given parity interrupted by outcomes of the other parity, as a function of their length. The features of these distributions for small rotations of the angle settings near critical points may indicate whether the underlying process is in-deterministic or not. Therefore, they may show that the boundary is discontinuous, or else, that determinism decays smoothly. The conditions the experimental setup must fulfill are discussed.

In this work, we focus on primordial curvature perturbations.
Since curvature perturbations arise from gravity, their action includes the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term.
We describe this process by a Bell test curve'', which offers a window around 5 e-folds for testing the quantum origin of cosmological perturbations.

The time of arrival of a quantum system in a specified state is considered in the framework of the repeated measurement protocol.
For a particular choice of system-detector coupling, the Zeno effect is avoided and the system can be described effectively by a non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian.

We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders.
All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection.
This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality.
This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment.
It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.

We show that these probabilities are perturbed by the granularity of the lattice and show that they can signal the discontinuity of the underlying space.
