Multiple measurements on an uncollapsed entangled two-photon state

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The relativity of simultaneity together with the definition of a quantum state collapse results in experimental situations where multiple measurements can be taken on an uncollapsed quantum state. The quantum state's collapse is defined to be instantaneous in a rest inertial frame of a detector performing measurements on the quantum system. The definition is consistent with the Copenhagen interpretation and in agreement with all measurements performed with detectors at rest in an arbitrary Lorentz (laboratory) frame. From the introduced collapse model follows that under certain conditions multiple measurements are allowed on the same uncollapsed quantum state. An application of the developed approach is shown on measurement of photon-pair state entangled in polarization and energy. Conditions under which two measurements can be taken on the uncollapsed photon-pair state are derived. Serious consequences follow from the allowance of multiple measurements on the same uncollapsed state. For example, the measurements taken by both detectors in this situation are uncorrelated. Moreover, all the conservation laws could be violated in individual measurements, but not in mean values. This statement is proved on the two-photon state entangled in energy. This is in contradiction with experimental results observed by the detectors in rest relative to each other. It is shown that the property of measuring uncorrelated results with detectors in relative movement is related solely to the proposed collapse model. The remaining collapse models—the preferred Lorentz frame, Aharonov-Albert, and Hellwig-Kraus—are examined and discussed with respect to the designed experiment, which involves spacelike separated measurements.
