Quantum field theory motivated model for the Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen (EPR) experiment
Bell deduced the nature and form of “nonlocal hidden variables” that could yield the unusual pattern of responses in the paradoxical Bohm (B-EPR) version of the Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen (EPR) experiment. We consider that quantum field theory (QFT) allows for the existence of Bell’s hidden variables in the “dressing” of free electrons that may explain the EPR experimental results. Specifically, the dressing of free electrons can convey random vector information. Motivated by this, we use a random vector paradigm (RVP) to explore how well a Monte Carlo computer program compares with the experimental B-EPR statistics. In this algorithm, the random vector provides a unique fingerprint that allows these charged leptons to bear unique responses when their spin is read by Stern–Gerlach detectors. The program’s numerical results compare well with Bell’s experimental summary. This work offers the opportunity to consider that virtual particles play a role in understanding the origins of quantum mechanics (QM)’s unique entanglement and probabilistic behaviors.
